THE FOLLOWING IS A WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA RELEASE
December 16th, 2023— at 11am Local volunteers supporting Wreaths Across America at [DanvilleNationalCemetery].
“It is important that during challenging times we all take a moment to remember those who have met and overcome challenges – like our nation’s military and their families – and show unity in our American spirit while we work together in an effort to march forward in the face of what seems to be insurmountable odds,” said Karen Worcester, executive director of Wreaths Across America. “We are so grateful to the good people of this great nation for participating in the mission to Remember, Honor and Teach.”
Wreaths Day is a free, non-political event, that is usually open to all people, but this year each individual location will be abiding by all local and state safety guidelines and rules set forth by the participating cemetery locations, at which Wreaths Across America is a guest.
At the Danville National Cemetery we have over 12,000 graves, but so far this year our donations are down, we will barely break 1,000so far. Our last day for donations is Sunday November 26th 2023.
