This is the time of year that we need to ask for donations for wreaths to be placed on every grave at Wilmington National Cemetery. We managed to get a wreath for every grave last year, so we hope we will get many donations this year. Last year was the first time that there was a wreath on every grave at Wilmington National Cemetery. You can make out a check to Wreaths Across America and mail it to Fran Carlsen, 3924 Members Club Blvd,SE; Southport, NC 28461 or Phyllis Wilson 2737 Juneberry Lane SE; Southport, NC 28461. Or you can click on the website below and donate directly to our chapter. Or if you prefer to dial a number and make a purchase you can do that too. Just try to donate a wreath or wreaths very soon because the cut off date is at the beginning of December.  There is a tab at the top of our blog that you can visit to make donations. You can click on a website to take you directly to donate or you can call a number. Check out the tab at the top of the website. As articles keeping getting posted on the blog this article will move down. That is why I am suggesting to click on the tab at the top of the blog.
Thanks.

It's your personal gift to an American hero, and you will swell with pride, and have a tear in your eye knowing you've done something special for our Veterans and their families. God bless out Veterans and God bless America."
