"When You're Dead, Your Bank Account Goes to Zero"

Livin' Better Side of The Great Divide


« on: November 29, 2020, 09:13:23 AM »

$15 to sponsor the laying of a wreath on the grave of a veteran at this time of the year, either one known or for someone with no lineage.
What I believe to be an honorable mission that the makers of the wreaths construct and provide them with the dedication of a portion of the profits to civic groups as well as veterans groups.

Please read this description as to how the program works if you have any skepticism as to it's validity:

And a link if you wish to sponsor:

My wife's mother and step-father lie in repose at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery of Western Colorado.
Her father's headstone in the family plot in Russell, Kansas.
We make the journey to Grand Junction regularly and during the winter season when may be a fresh skiff of snow among the rows; to view those symbols of respect for those present, it puts a perspective to the lives that were lived and service rendered. angel

A followup:  Jersey Mikes Subs will match a $15 donation for a wreath to be placed on a veteran's grave at Arlington National Cemetery if donated by December 14th.  Link provided to examine their proposal.
