The Paulding County Chapter of Wreath’s Across America knows it’s been a struggle the last few months with Covid19. Despite all the obstacles, their organization still wants to get the word out about placing wreaths to commemorate those who have served in our country’s military.
Residents can reach out to Linda McCain at 419-670-2659.
The goal for 2020, which will be the organizations third year in operation, is to sell 1000 wreaths. This is a great opportunity to show appreciation to a veteran, whether it’s a family member or someone who no longer has family in the area. The cutoff date each year is in November.
If you are not familiar with Wreaths Across America, every December the organization holds wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as at more than 1600 additional locations across the world. In 2020, Paulding’s Wreath Laying Ceremony will be held on December 19th at St. Paul’s Cemetery off Co. Rd. 87.
Wreaths Across America’s core mission is Remember, Honor, and Teach. Remember the fallen, Honor those who serve and their families, and Teach the future generations about the sacrifices made to preserve our freedoms. This year’s motto is “Be an American Worth Fighting For”.
