Thank you and tell a friend.  It's not really much money, the wreaths are made in Maine and shipped all over the country (at a cost that is surely a huge gift from the company) to where they are placed.

We know that there are thousands of veterans that don't have family or friends to sponsor a wreath for their headstone.  Maybe there are some "unknowns" who have no one to honor their lives any longer.  My wife and her family donate one in memory of her mom and husband who lay at the Western Colorado Veteran's Memorial Cemetery in Grand Junction, Colorado.  We'll dedicate one more for a forgotten soul somewhere in America.

Volunteers will place the wreaths on December 16th and there will be a solemn ceremony on December 17th.  All are welcome.

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to
