Wreaths Across America coming to Beaufort in December

Remember, Honor, Teach. That is the mission of the National “Wreaths Across America”, in which wreaths are placed at veteran’s grave sites in all 230 National Cemeteries across the US at noon on Saturday, December . 17th. The US Military Vets Motorcycle Club of Beaufort is charged with coordinating this year’s ceremony and has been asking for sponsorship for the wreaths, which cost $15.00 each. Individuals or groups can purchase one or more wreaths.

The wreaths will arrive in Beaufort National Cemetery by 18 wheel trucks and given an escort by the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Department.

Everyone is invited to the ceremony at noon on Saturday, December 17th to join in and also to help place the wreaths on as many graves as possible.

What an honor.

If you will have some time to spare on December 17th, please volunteer. Better yet, if you’re a teacher or school official this is a wonderful field trip or service project for school aged children.
