Wreaths Across America - Let's Put a Wreath on Every Grave at Wilmington National Cemetery

Phyllis Wilson, your Wreaths Across America Chair. Click on the Tab at the top of the blog called Wreaths Across America.

Dear 1812 Members, 

My name is Phyllis Wilson, and I am the Wreaths Across America chair for our U.S. Daughters of 1812, Commissioner Charles Gause Chapter, to sponsor wreaths for the Veteran’s graves at Wilmington National Cemetery, 2011 Market St. Wilmington, NC 28403

Wreaths this year will be placed on the graves on December 18^th.    I have not received any notification if there will be a formal program this year. As the time grows nearer, I will send out another e-mail with more details.

I would like to ask your help in sponsoring one or more wreaths in memory of or in honor of servicemen in your family.  It’s a big order to cover these graves in a beautiful Christmas remembrance of those who served for us.

There are three ways to order wreaths:

1.      Carol Jutte e-mail you this information and there is an attached form you can click on the download and print the order form.  Fill in your information, the name and rank of the service person(s) and a number of wreaths, and whether in memory of or in honor of (a living person.)  You can mail the form and your check to me at 2737 Juneberry Lane; Southport, NC 28461    The Fundraising Group ID is NC0025P.  The Location ID is NCWNCE (Wilmington National Veteran’s Cemetery.) Make out your check to Wreaths Across America. I will also have forms at our 1812 meeting this Saturday, October 2, 201 at 10:30 in Southport.

We have 4,186 wreaths sponsored and we need 940 more to cover 5,172 graves at Wilmington National Cemetery. Our 1812 group has 181 wreaths purchased. We are in 7th place for having the most wreaths. Thank you Carol Hart for getting the corporate donation of 10 wreaths from Winding River Veterans Assoc.  I do feel if you order wreaths by using a credit card either by calling the main number or doing it at the suggested website we see the results much more quickly. The turnaround time to get the checks, mail them then process them takes several weeks. I will happily accept check donations. I will also assist you with ordering a wreath too.

Donations to the USO of North Carolina from the NC Daughters of 1812 and Dames of the Court of Honor

 North Carolina Daughters of 1812 and Dames of the Court of Honor can be proud of themselves as they recently donated nearly $800 in goods and cash to the USO of North Carolina.

The donations were collected during the organizations’ annual statewide meetings held at the North Carolina State University Club, Raleigh, North Carolina, on Saturday, August 7, 2021.

The donation, which included nearly $400 in cash and checks and about the same dollar amount of various food and toiletry items, was delivered to the USO by Mary Ann Loss, a member of both lineage societies and a USO volunteer.

Samantha Reid, manager of the Raleigh Durham International Airport USO, inventoried the contributions after they arrived at the center.

“Imagine over 100 packs of cookies, about 375 bags of chips, 450 plastic bags, more than 100 first-class mail stamps, and a variety of personal care items,” she said.

“Most of the donations will be used to provide snacks for America’s warriors as they travel through the Raleigh-Durham International Airport,” she added.

“Additionally, the toiletries will be sent to Camp Lejeune for young women and men who are just starting their military careers as U.S. Marines.”

Commissioner Charles Gause Chapter USD 1812 June 5, 2021 Meeting

 

                                       

President Pat Gooding was happy to hold our Commissioner Charles Gause Chapter USD 1812  June 5, 2021 meeting in a nice location in Southport, NC.

Jane Johnson presented a most interesting program on her ancestor Lt. Colonel Benjamin Forsyth and his body servant Charles Gibson of Stokes Co. NC. Forsyth County is named in honor for Benjamin Forsyth.   Both men were in the War of 1812. Benjamin was killed 28 June 1814 at Odelltown, Canada. Charles Gibson returned to North Carolina after his master’s death.  Gibson was a slave and could have stayed in Canada as a freeman and yet he walked back to North Carolina.  He later died in his 80’s and is buried in the colored section of the Moravian cemetery in Winston-Salem. 

                                           

               

            

Charles Gibson who Jane Johnson mentioned in her talk.  Charles Gibson was denied an 1812 pension and was buried in an unmarked grave.  In 2018, the graves in the Cemetery were marked only with the word “Beloved”.  For his contribution to the War of 1812, it would be fitting for his grave to be marked with his name. 

 

Memorial Day is May 31, 2021
