It's Not Too Late to Volunteer for Wreaths Across America

Wreath placement is happening December 16th in Exeter

While many of us are facing a remarkably busy December, I hope that you will consider volunteering for the upcoming Wreaths Across America wreath placement, which is happening December 16th at 11:45 am at Rhode Island Veterans Cemetery in Exeter.

Volunteer sign-up can be done online here: https://www.wreathsacrossameri...

The act of laying a wreath is a small gesture, but it carries with it a profound message of respect and gratitude for those who have made many sacrifices. It is a poignant reminder that we owe our freedom to these brave individuals.

But volunteering for Wreaths Across America is not just about placing a wreath; it's about spending a moment to remember and honor the life of a soldier. It's about teaching the younger generation about the value of service. It's about coming together as a community to show our appreciation.

Wreaths Across America relies heavily on volunteers to carry out its mission. Without the help of many dedicated individuals, it would be impossible to reach the hundreds of veterans' cemeteries around the country.

I urge everyone to consider volunteering on December 16th, through the laying of remembrance wreaths and saying the name of each veteran aloud, it is a meaningful way to give back to those who have given so much.
