Wreaths Across America 2017 – San Francisco National Cemetery at the Presido

Over the weekend, several of our members joined the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps (USNSCC) Arkansas Division on Saturday for the Wreaths Across America event at the National Cemetery at the Presidio here in San Francisco.  Here are some pictures we took.

[eNewsletter #163] Together, we did it…

From the Wreaths Across America organization.


Together, We Did It!

I am excited to share with everyone, that as of this week, we received enough support for full coverage of Arlington National Cemetery.In total, 1,570,000 will be placed at 1,422 participating locations nationwide.
There are still working and trucks being loaded. So we will be accepting sponsored wreaths until Wednesday, for any location where the trucks have not departed yet. Any wreath sponsored ships received that did not make the truck, will be placed in 2018 – so they always go to honor our veterans.
This has been a busy week, as the annual Wreath Escort makes its way out of Maine and on the road down to Arlington. I think you will really enjoy some of the highlights below.

Final Reminder: Royal Canadian Legion – Wreaths Across America

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:
