REMEMBER the Fallen. . . HONOR those who Serve. . . TEACH our children the value of Freedom.
On December 17, 2022 at 12:00 pm, Scout Troop 4, Grass Valley California (CA0739P) will be helping St. Patrick's Cemetery to Remember and Honor our veterans by laying Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes.
Please help us honor and remember as many fallen heroes as possible by sponsoring remembrance wreaths, volunteering on Wreaths Day, or inviting your family and friends to attend with you.
Thank you so much for supporting the Scout Troop 4, Grass Valley California (CA0739P) and Wreaths Across America!
Wreaths Across America began unofficially in 1992 at Arlington National Cemetery. Since that time the mission of Wreaths Across America had spread to cemeteries throughout all 50 states and beyond. This year the Wreaths Across America Ceremony will be held on December 17 at over 3500 cemeteries to demonstrate our gratitude and respect for our veterans and the sacrifices they have made. Our ceremony, which commemorates the 31st year of Wreaths Across America, will be held at noon at St. Patrick’s Cemetery on Rough and Ready Hwy (next to NID). Ceremonial wreaths will be laid to honor each branch of the U.S. military. Following our ceremony the public will be invited to choose a wreath to place on the grave of a veteran and say the name of the individual. All ages are invited to attend as we Remember the fallen, Honor those that serve and Teach the next generation the value of freedom.
The wreaths are $15 each and the deadline for donations for this year is November 28. All donations must be back to the headquarters in Maine by then. Currently we have sponsorship for about 500 wreaths. Our goal is to place wreaths on the graves of veterans at St. Patrick’s, Greenwood and Sierra Lawn Cemeteries. To do so we need about 1500 wreaths. So we are currently very short of our goal. You may sponsor a wreath by going directly to:
