Wreaths Across America is offering a 2 for 1 Sale. This is a great deal. Even if you already bought wreaths last year this is this year and if you buy them now you will get double your order. Then maybe we can put a wreath on every grave this December 18^th.  I am helping all groups that are sponsoring wreaths.  Call at 910-253-1474 or e-mail me at par4wilson@gmail.com and I will help you order a wreath for the organization you want to sponsor. The goal here is to put a wreath on every grave in 2021. We came close this year to doing that. We placed 3,825 wreaths on Veterans graves. We needed 1,301 wreaths. If the same people who ordered wreaths for this year, they would get double the amount, which could put us just where we want next year on December 18, 2019, which is the date to place next year’s wreaths on graves.
