[REMINDER] Wreaths Across America and US Navy Sea Cadets – Arkansas Division

Once again our US Navy Sea Cadets Corps – Arkansas Division is participating in the Wreaths Across America program at the San Francisco National Cemetery at the Presidio of San Francisco. In addition to participating in the event on December 18, 2021, our cadets are also helping to promote the sponsorship of wreaths.

Individuals can sponsor a wreath for $15, and if you use the link below our cadets will receive $5 from each wreath that people sponsor through them:

So if you would like to sponsor one or more wreaths, I would STRONGLY encourage you to do it through our cadets so that they can benefit from your sponsorship. Just make sure that you see the cadets group ID of (CAPNSF) when you are sponsoring (which should appear when you go to the link above). If you need assistance please contact Wreath Across America directly at 877-385-9504.

In addition to sponsoring one or more wreaths, I’d also encourage you to join us at the event at 11:00 am on Saturday, December 18, 2021 at the San Francisco National Cemetery at the Presidio of San Francisco. I will be there and I’d love to see you there too.

Hello Friend
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
Christmas is fast approaching and all the work you do to help our veterans is more important than ever at this time of year.

As we plan for 2022 and new ways to support the cause, we must still keep an eye on the upcoming festive period. With a new collection to shop and an exciting fundraising challenge to sign up for before the New Year, there are plenty of ways to get involved and help us provide the support our veterans need when they leave the Armed Forces.

The ‘12,000 Steps a Day in January’ challenge is a daily activity throughout the month of January but how you choose to complete the ‘steps’ each day is really up to you. Taking these steps – 12,000 a day to be precise – will provide much-needed support for military veterans across the UK.

It’s FREE to take part, all we ask is that you set up a fundraising page and share with your friends and family. You’ll even get a FREE challenge T- shirt!

Start as you mean to go on, one step at a time!

Story by Stephen J. Thorne

At 17, James Post of Ottawa had already been serving two years overseas when he earned a Distinguished Conduct Medal for “conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty” during a 1917 attack on the First World War battlefield of Passchendaele.

Post, a corporal in the 4th Battalion, Canadian Mounted Rifles, also happened to be one of about 700 Black men who served in non-segregated units of the Canadian Expeditionary Force between 1914 and 1918.

Lowering the Maple Leaf

Story by Sharon Adams

On Dec. 1, 2011, at a quiet ceremony in Afghanistan, the Maple Leaf flag was lowered for the last time in Kandahar as Canadian troops prepared to leave the wartorn region.
