Local DAR Chapter seeks Wreath Sponsors for Veterans’ Graves

Polly Cooper Chapter, National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution is seeking sponsors of wreaths to be placed on veterans’ graves at The Old Burial Grounds and Bedford Union located in Bedford, New York. More than 250 wreaths are needed to remember each veteran. Wreath sponsorships are $17 each and can be ordered online at WAA NY0353P - Polly Cooper Chapter, NSDAR or scan the QR code in the picture below.

Polly Cooper Chapter members will be on site at the cemeteries on Wreaths Across America Day to lay wreaths, say each Veterans name out loud, and remember the sacrifices of our Veterans and their families to protect our freedoms.

The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR), a non-profit, non-political women’s service organization, was founded in 1890 to preserve the memory and spirit of those who contributed to securing American independence. With approximately 3,000 chapters worldwide, DAR is one of the world's largest and most active volunteer service organizations. To learn more about the work of today's DAR, visit www.dar.org.

Polly Cooper is a local NSDAR Chapter and our service projects support education and literacy, historic preservation, conservation, veterans and active-duty service members, genealogy research, naturalization ceremonies for new citizens, and more. Our members live throughout Northern Westchester County and beyond. Now is a great time to discover if you have an American Revolutionary ancestor as our nation approaches the 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026.
