We need several people to help us open, sort, and prepare the wreaths for the day. We are expecting three thousand wreaths this year!  Anyone available and wishing to assist please come to the Amphitheater on Friday 16 DEC, at 1500.  We plan on unboxing and setting up Friday afternoon.  If you can come out to help on Friday, please send the R/C an email prior, so we have a head count.
 
Mission Plan:
 
This year’s event will run much like the last several year’s event.
We will again escort the vehicle with the Military Services Wreaths from the staging area, to the amphitheater. Once at the amphitheater we will form a flag line for the main wreath placement and then enjoy the ceremony.
 
Come join us!!
Let's make this year an even better Celebration of our heroes!
