Wreaths Across America - Let's Put a Wreath on Every Grave 

There are over 5,000 graves at the Wilmington National Cemetery. We were very close to placing a wreath on every grave, but often people wait until the last minute to purchase a wreath. Let’s start early next year and begin buying wreaths as soon as January 2020. Wreaths may be purchased in memory or in honor of someone. Goggle the website below to go directly to the 1812 Wreaths Across America site. Each wreath costs $15 and can be paid by credit card.  Provide your e-mail address and you will receive a receipt.  www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/nc0025p There are many other organizations that are sponsoring Wreaths Across America, so be sure you have your group’s ID# and location # when ordering a wreath. The location is Wilmington National Cemetery or NCWNCE and the Group ID# for the Commissioner Charles Gause 1812 group is NC00025P. If anyone wants to purchase a wreath and credit a different sponsor their specific Group ID number must be given. The cemetery code will remain the same.
