How to order a wreath:

Since our October meeting will be a Zoom meeting you will not be able to get a form from Phyllis to order a wreath, but you could make out a check to Wreaths Across America. Each wreath is $15.00 and mail it to Phyllis Wilson.  There is a form that should be filled out. Contact Phyllis at par4wilson@gmail.com and she will e-mail you a form or just fill out a form once she receives your check . Her home address is in our book

Go to the tab under the Home button on this website and click on the Wreaths Across America Tab. When you do that read what Phyllis has written. There is a direct website that will take you to the General Gause account to order a wreath. If you experience difficulty e-mail Phyllis and she will call you back and walk you through your order.

There is a phone number on the Tab that you can call and order a wreath. You will need the cemetery name, NCWNCE (Wilmington National Cemetery) our number - NC0025P, and your credit card information. Also, you will receive a receipt from Wreaths Across America after you purchase a wreath. Click forward on your e-mail and send Phyllis a copy of your receipt for her records.

Our chapter has 21 wreaths purchased. Let's all try to order at least one wreath or more.

The American flag has been the symbol of our nation's strength and unity. It's been a source of pride and inspiration for millions of citizens. The Star Spangled Banner, long may it wave, over the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.   On this same day the United States Army celebrates its birthday. Following Flag Day is Honor America Days, a 21-day period through to Independence Day (July 4) to honor America.
