It is Never to Late to Order a Wreath for Wreaths Across America - If you miss the deadline then the money will go towards next year's program.

Wreaths Across America

 "This year, when you place a Wreath on a Veterans Grave, you will know it is not just a wreath. It's your personal gift to an American hero, and you will swell with pride, and have a tear in your eye knowing you've done something special for our Veterans and their families. God bless out Veterans and God bless America."

If you want to mail a check to either Pat Elsaesser or Phyllis Wilson  to arrive before November 21st so it can still get to the main office by November 27th. You can also order a wreath online. There are specific direction on the Wreaths Across America Tab at the top of the blog.  Be sure to put Wilmington National Cemetery in on the website and the number NC0025P on your donation.

Pat Elsaesser is our Wreaths Across America Chair. She passed our information and sheets to fill out to accompany your check to order a wreath at our last meeting. Each wreath costs $15.00. It is a nice gesture to order a wreath in memory or in honor of someone special.

Pat's e-mail address is pelsaesser@atmc.com.  You can contact her and she will give you her address to mail your form and check. You can also contact Phyllis Wilson at par4wilson@gmail.com. If you are having issues ordering a wreath on line just send her an e-mail. Phyllis will also accept donations for 1812 too. 

Let's put a wreath on every grave this year. If we all pull together this can happen.
