Volunteers are beginning plans for the annual Wreaths Across America ceremony and laying of wreaths at Fort Scott National Cemetery, scheduled for December 17,2022.  For anyone not familiar with this annual event, it is held to Remember, Honor and Teach about those who have served us in the military and offered their lives to defend our country.

 

WE NEED YOUR HELP to sponsor wreaths.  “This event is only possible through donations made to sponsor individual wreaths”, says Diann Tucker, Location Project Coordinator.  Wreaths cost $15.00 each and donations must be received no later than November 22.  We hope you share our feelings of the importance of this project and will support it with your donations.  The nearly 7000 graves at Fort Scott National Cemetery are a tribute to the willingness of our military men and women to make the ultimate sacrifice for a cause bigger than oneself and is a mission worth supporting.  Your donations are a 501c3 not-for-profit tax deductible.  If you have a specific grave to receive and be honored with a wreath, please provide their name with your donation.  Without enough financial support, not all graves will receive wreaths.

 

Please mail your donation of $15.00 per wreath, checks payable to “Wreaths Across America” and send in care of Diann Tucker, 746 215^th Street, Fort Scott, KS 66701.  If you live in Fort Scott you can drop by Stewart Realty Co., 1707 S. National, to make your donations.  We can also accept debit and credit cards.  Please contact me if you have any questions (620-224-7054) or email us at wreathsacrossamerica0049@yahoo.com.

 

We look forward to seeing you on December 17^th at Fort Scott National Cemetery for our Annual Wreath-laying Ceremony.
