Wreaths this year will be placed on the graves on December
18th. 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.

Orders
by check should be in by November 20th. Orders by credit card should be in by
November 30th. If you have
questions, please do not hesitate to call me:
910-253-1474. 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. As long
as you have the ID #’s. NCWNCE; Group ID
is NC0025P, it is really easy to order a wreath. Also, you will get a
receipt e-mailed to you. When you get that receipt forward it to par4wilson@gmail.com which is my e-mail address.
Thank You for Remembering Our Veterans!
