Do you know about the wreaths
that are placed on veterans' graves during the holiday season in Arlington, and
other state and national cemeteries?
Those lovely green balsam wreaths with red bows stand out against a bland
wintry day's landscape. Have you wished
that YOUR loved veteran could be honored, just like those buried at
Arlington? NOW THEY CAN BE!!!!
The Novelty Senior Citizens
group is sponsoring a Wreaths Across
America ceremony December 16, 2017 (the same time as the national ceremony
in Arlington), local time 11:00 a.m. You may purchase a wreath for any loved veteran in the county,
or nearby cemeteries.
All wreaths will be delivered
to Novelty. We ask that, if your loved
one is elsewhere, then you come to Novelty on the day of the ceremony, and pick
up the wreath(s) you have purchased and take it to your loved one's
gravesite.
The wreaths cost just $15 per
wreath, and are identical to those placed in Arlington. You may send the money to
Novelty Senior Citizens
Novelty Senior Citizens
PO Box 65
Novelty, MO 63460
Checks should be made payable
to Wreaths Across America.
(Deadline to receive money is
October 31, 2017.)
And the Senior Citizens' thank you for your help in this project!
