We are pleased to announce that we have met our sponsorship goal for the 2025 Wreaths Across America event that will be held December 13 at Fort Scott National Cemetery, said Diann Tucker, location coordinator at Fort Scott National
Cemetery.
We are so grateful to everyone who has sponsored wreaths and made this possible again. Every veteran at Fort Scott National Cemetery will receive a remembrance wreath. This is only possible through the generosity of many and hard work in fundraising. If you did not sponsor a specific dedicated wreath this year but still want to do so, we can still include your dedication. Just contact us so
we can help you with that. Any funds received now will be held for the 2026 campaign. It takes fundraising all year long to accomplish this goal.
Our ceremony will begin at 10 AM on December 13, immediately followed bylaying of wreaths. There will be some limited golf cart transportation available to assist in getting volunteers and guests into the cemetery prior to the ceremony and immediately following. Our guest speaker this year is Pat Proctor, retired United States Army colonel. Volunteers are requested to help with wreath
This is such a great program. Honoring our all of our veterans is very important. Seeing all the graves at Fort Scott National Cemetery with the wreaths placed is a very moving experience. Thank you to all the volunteers to work to get the wreaths placed.
