I just want to share with you a great event that is happening in New Hampshire on December 15th.
This is an idea that started with a Gold Star Family and was inspired by the wreaths placed at Arlington National Cemetery (Worcester Wreath Company)... the Blue and Gold Star Mothers decided we needed to answer this Christms wish ~ We are asking for your help ~ you can purchase a 12" Balsam Wreath from us for $6.50, please make your check out to:

| We are hoping to have 1500 wreaths by Friday, December 14th. The wreaths will be delivered to the NH State Veterans Cemetery in Boscawen between 10:00 to 10:30AM Saturday the 15th where we will be placing a wreath at each grave site. This would be the beginning of a yearly tradition here in New Hampshire. |

Also, on the 15th of December, the Civil Air Patrol, the lead agency for the Wreaths Across America, will host a ceremony at the NH State Veterans Cemetery in Boscawen. Every state in the country will be doing this same ceremony at cemeteries and statehouses. It is all coordinated by time to coincide with the ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.
The Ceremony at Boscawen will start at 12 noon sharp with color guard, speakers, ceremonial wreath laying by active duty service members, a flyover and taps to name a few.
Remember the Fallen and Support our Troops
Because Freedom isn't Free
God bless all ya'll!!!
