Wreaths Across America – Together, we can honor them

With each passing day, we get closer to National Wreaths Across America Day on Dec. 17, 2022.

The CGSC Foundation is one of the Fort Leavenworth area Wreaths Across America sponsor groups who share the goal of honoring every grave at Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery with a wreath of remembrance this holiday season.

The Foundation’s goal in 2021 was to honor all 900 veterans buried in Section N of the cemetery. Together we achieved that goal with 921 wreaths sponsored.

The Foundation’s goal in 2022 is to place wreaths on every one of the 981 graves in Section B of the Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery. Of course, the larger goal is always to inspire enough people to place a wreath on every grave – more than 23,000 – in the cemetery.

All that said, the Foundation has a lot of work to do to reach the 2022 goal. We need your help. – Wreaths can be sponsored for $15 each by using the link below.

And please join us Dec. 17 at the Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery to help us Remember and Honor our veterans by placing wreaths on their graves. After all the wreaths are laid, the CGSC Foundation will be hosting a reception for volunteers with hot drinks and snacks at the Frontier Army Museum. We’ll post more information about Dec. 17 as the date nears, but save the date!

Together, we can honor them.
