Wreath Retirement Ceremony ~ Volunteers needed!

Wreath Retirement Ceremony
Wreaths Across America
US National Cemetery No. 1
10am

Volunteers needed and welcome!  If possible, bring pickups to load wreaths for transfer to the dumpsters.

Plans for retirement of wreaths at Fort Scott National Cemetery have been confirmed for January 16, 2025, beginning at 10 AM. Volunteers to pick up wreaths are needed, along with small flatbed trailers or pickup trucks for hauling. The wreaths that were placed on December 14, 2024, under the direction of Wreaths Across America, will be removed and hauled to dumpsters at the cemetery. Even if you can only donate 30 minutes or an hour to help, it will be appreciated, according to Diann Tucker, Location Coordinator. Our annual wreath event is not complete until this job is finished also. For questions or additional information, contact Diann Tucker, 620-224-7054, or Mika at Stewart Realty, 620- 223-6700.
Matching funds campaign is still available for all wreath sponsorships received by January 17, 2025. Anything we get will be matched and give us some early funds for the 2025 wreath sponsorship and ceremony scheduled for December, 13, 2025. You can still make your donation COUNT DOUBLE. Contact us for questions or to provide electronic funds for a donation. It isn't too early to begin.
