Sponsor A Christmas Wreath For A Veteran's Grave
WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA CEREMONY
SATURDAY DECEMBER 14TH 2013
We are now accepting orders for 2013.
Operation Care Package has
teamed up with Wreaths Across America
to help
get more Wreaths on the graves of our Military
at National Cemeteries.
Individuals, businesses, schools, or groups can choose to sponsor
one or more Wreaths at $15 each.
Wreaths Across America
will donate $5 back to Operation Care Package
to help with our Christmas Campaign
sending
Care Packages to our deployed Troops.
In 2012, we were able to place 4,600 wreaths on the graves
By December, 2013, there will be at least 34,000 American Warriors buried at Abraham Lincoln.
It is our goal to place a wreath on every grave one day.
It's not too early, you can sponsor wreaths now!
Please help us to ensure
that no Hero serving our Nation is forgotten this Holiday Season.
Everyone is invited to join us after the wreath pacement for a free luncheon
Which will be held at:
STONE CITY VFW
124 Stone City Dr. Joliet

A ceremony for the laying of wreaths will be held around the Country
Saturday December 14, 2013
at 12 noon EST, 11am for Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery.
Please join us at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery (11AM) on that day.
I will not be taking names for volunteers this year ahead of time
But will be asking volunteers to sign up at the VOLUNTEER TENT
If you want to help place a wreath, they will be placed right after
the 11 am ceremony. Everyone is welcome to come out and help.
Please understand that we are all volunteer for this event.
If you want to request a grave specific you MUST send the:
name, section & site number of Veteran, a contact phone
to the address above ONLY. WAA does not have any way of doing grave specific.
*** PLEASE NOTE ON GRAVE SPECIFIC***
We are all volunteer on rely on 1000 volunteers that they will place each wreath where they are told
However, that being said, the only 100% guarantee to have the wreath placed on your grave specific,
is to come place it yourself. Untill we have a wreath for every grave it is a very difficult task to make it all happen
But we tdo try our best!
