KEEP MOVING FORWARD
Wreaths Across America adopts a new theme each year as we work to fulfill our commitment to Remember, Honor and Teach, in conjunction with the annual wreath placements at Fort Scott National Cemetery. This year’s theme is “Keep Moving Forward”. Something we each need to do, although it is not always easy. Our lives are often filled with joy, commitment, busy schedules, as well as loss and disappointment. None the less, as we who remain, we must keep moving forward.
Diann Tucker, location coordinator at our local Fort Scott National Cemetery, wants to remind the community of the need for additional wreath sponsorships to fulfill the goal of providing a wreath for each of the over 7000 honorary stones at the cemetery. If you know someone, have a friend or loved one buried here, please honor them with a wreath this year. Perhaps you just want to honor a soldier who didn’t know you but was willing to give his or her life for your freedom. Wreaths are $17.00 each and a donation can be made by check, cash or credit/debit card. Checks can be made payable to Wreaths Across America and mailed to “Wreaths Across America”, c/o Diann Tucker, 746 215th St., Fort Scott, KS 66701 or drop your donation by Stewart Realty Co., 1707 S. National, Fort Scott. To donate with a debit or credit card please call Diann or Mika at 620-223-6700 or 620-224-7054. You can also tell us if you have a grave specific site to be dedicated for your wreath purchase. All donations must be received no later than November 20 and are tax deductible.
We appreciate your past and current support and ask that you share this event with your friends, family, email friends, and Facebook friends. The annual ceremony and wreath remembrance placement is scheduled for December 13, 2025. We always need and appreciate volunteers.
