This is the first year 2023 that we haven’t put a wreath on the grave of every Veteran at Wilmington Nation Cemetery in a long time. Wreaths Across America is sponsoring another program that should spark an incentive to want to buy some wreaths. It is called 2 for 1. If you buy 1 wreath, we get 2 wreaths to put on graves. If you buy 5 wreaths there will be 10 wreaths to put on the graves. The 2 for 1 program started December 16th. If you have already bought a wreath by credit card I would suggest doing the buying the same way. Only 2 things: Go to the website below which will take you directly to the DAR Brunswick Town Chapter site and don’t add $3.00 to their technology fund. Below is the information you need to do this. You will get a form e-mailed immediately after you buy your wreaths, but you will be e-mailed another receipt and that one would list our chapter on it. It should have listed it on the first immediate receipt too. I would like you to forward me the 2nd receipt that they e-mailed you for my records. The 2 for 1 Sale started on January 16, 2023. If you are going to buy by credit card you have until January 16, 2024 to purchase some wreaths. That is the last day of the 2 for 1. If you are going to buy a wreath by writing a check you need to get that to me as soon as possible. If you are a member of the Brunswick Town DAR Chapter you can either send our treasurer a check made out to Brunswick Town DAR which she will deposit and when she gets a few wreaths she will order by using her debit card for the chapter. We have a DAR meeting in January 10, 2024. so you can bring your checks then and give them to our treasurer. You have until January 16th at 12:00 midnight to purchase wreaths. Then the 2 for 1 is over. Let's all rally and buy a few wreaths. I think if all 180+ members will buy wreaths we will be in great shape to put a wreath on every grave for 2024.

If you would like to buy a wreath by credit card, but are not sure how to
do it or e-mail me at par4wilson@gmail.com and I will help you. If you are reading this post, but are not a Brunswick Town DAR member then e-mail me and I will send you a form to fill out and mail yourself. Ordering by credit card is the quickest way to place an order or by phone.
There is also another way to order a wreath and that is by phone. You call: 877-385-9504 You tell them how many wreaths you want to order. They will ask you the cemetery locations – Wilmington National Cemetery; and the sponsor number which is NC0009P. Our chapter had 251 wreaths sponsored by many people who ordered wreaths this year other than chapter members. Our Brunswick Town Chapter was in 5th place as to getting the most wreaths out of 46 other sponsors.
