The Kiwanis Club of Big Lagoon is sponsoring Wreaths Across America and helping place the Wreaths at Barrancas National Cemetery.
They are in need of more wreaths and volunteers. Get more info at the link bed.
SPONSORING WREATHS AT BARRANCAS NATIONAL CEMETERY
Barrancas National Cemetery has over 50,000 graves. Last year only about 29,500 wreaths were sponsored. We look forward to the day when every grave has a wreath. We welcome orders of all sizes.
Most people sponsor one or more wreaths without a specific grave placement. These are used for mass placements in both the new and old sections of the cemetery, ensuring that no grave is forgotten.
If you request it, we will place a wreath on a specific grave at Barrancas for you. Last year over 2,200 specific grave placements were honored. Please provide us with the veteran’s full name and the gravesite Section, Row and Number on your order form. Use the Gravesite Locator button above to check on your loved one’s location information. You can request specific placements for multiple graves with the same order. Due to limited volunteer availability we will no longer take and send pictures of the wreaths on the graves.
If you would prefer to place the wreath or wreaths yourself, please indicate that on your order, or we will place them. Include an email address so we can send you directions for wreath pickup in December.
