Comrades,

As many of you are aware, the Royal Canadian Legion US Zone, Branch #25 representing the San Francisco Bay area is a sponsor of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps (USNSCC) Arkansas Division.  Each year, the cadets seek sponsors to purchase wreaths as a part of the Wreaths Across America event.  A wreath can be sponsored for $15 and a portion of each sponsorship goes to our cadets.

I ask that you visit https://donate.wreathsacrossamerica.org/?pageId=22107&relatedIds=15539&productId=114 and contribute to their number of local wreaths that will be placed at the National Cemetery at the Presidio here in San Francisco.

Additionally, if you are available on Saturday, 16 December at 11:00am I would encourage you to join the cadets – along with members of the Royal Canadian Legion – as volunteers to place the wreaths (regardless if you are able to sponsor any wreaths yourself).  The event is described as:

Last year, your generous sponsorship of 1 Remembrance Wreath helped to make National Wreaths Across America Day possible.

New Ways to Honor and Remember

In conclusion, I cannot thank you enough for supporting the families that will have an empty seat at their table this holiday season because they have a loved-one currently serving or one who has made the ultimate sacrifice. This time of year is hardest for those families and, by remembering and honoring their loved-one, you will make it a little easier. Thank you so much for remembering America’s finest.

My very best wishes for the happiest and healthiest holiday season,

Karen Worcester
