Bolingbrook JROTC Memorial Wreath Sale Now Under Way

As a way to honor fallen members of the military, Bolingbrook High School’s Air Force Junior ROTC program will once again participate in the National Wreaths Across America program by sponsoring the sale of wreaths that will be placed on graves at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood on Dec. 13.

Orders for the wreaths must be placed and paid for by Nov. 21 if the donor has a specific gravesite on which the wreaths should be placed or by Nov. 29 if there are no placement instructions. The wreaths cost $15.

Order forms are available by going to www.WreathsAcrossAmerica.org. It’s important to remember to use the BHS JROTC group number (IL0004) and location number (ILALNE) when ordering online.

More information is available by emailing BHSROTC@gmail.com.

Officials hope to place wreaths on all 36,000 graves at the cemetery. Similar ceremonies will take place on Dec. 13 (National Wreaths Across America Day) at national cemeteries throughout the country.
