This "Tombstone Tuesday," I would like to remind everyone that it's not too late to honor the memory of a veteran - possibly a veteran ancestor - with a beautiful wreath for the holidays.
Wreaths Across America is still accepting sponsorships for wreaths to be presented at over 350 state and national veterans cemeteries, veterans memorials and other designated sites around the country. For only $15, you can honor the service of a veteran by sponsoring a wreath to be placed on his/her grave on December 12, 2009.
There are 16 participating locations right here in California. The deadline for ordering for a California location is today, December 1st, so don't delay!
Find out if your ancestor is buried in a participating cemetery.
BTW, I know that the Lancaster Cemetery District in Lancaster (Los Angeles Co., CA) is in dire need of sponsorships, so if you don't have a location in mind, please consider sending a wreath their way. My husband and I photographed this entire cemetery when we lived out there several years ago. Quite a few veterans are buried there, including several from the Civil War.
This holiday season, so many are in need, and there are so many places where our dollars matter.
Please don't forget our veterans.
