Subject: National Wreath Project 2013 - Please help!
Dear Friends,
Last year the SGT. MAC FOUNDATION and the NATIONAL WREATH PROJECT
placed 7,000 wreaths on graves at Quantico and Gettysburg National
Cemeteries. This year we have committed to placing 8,000 Wreaths between
the two Cemeteries. We are committed to placing 6,400 Wreaths at
Quantico National Cemetery, where Sergeant Eric McColley is interred.
We have also again committed to placing over 1,600 wreaths on
every headstone in the Gettysburg National Cemetery (also known as
Soldiers National Cemetery). This will enable us to place a wreath on
EVERY headstone in the original section of the Cemetery at
Gettysburg. We would To accomplish this project, we need to raise
just approximately $ 64,000.00.
We
would sincerely appreciate any assistance that you could provide in
funding this endeavor. The wreaths and bows cost $ 8.00 each and are
provided at cost by GIANT FOOD of Carlisle, PA. Transportation of the wreaths from Gettysburg to Quantico, VA is provided generously by ABF FREIGHT SYSTEMS. Everything else is provided by volunteers. 100% of every dollar donated will go to the purchase of wreaths.
You are invited to visit the Sgt. Mac Foundation web site at WWW.SGTMAC.ORG for details and photos of how THE NATIONAL WREATH PROJECT began as well as photos of last years program.
Please
consider assisting us in this most worthy tribute to our Veterans. We
are looking for contributions and sponsors by individuals, businesses,
Veterans organizations and anyone else interested in helping us to honor
our deceased and fallen Veterans.
You
are also invited to join us in person for this program. This year we
will meet at the Giant Food Store on Route 30 in Gettysburg, PA at 0800
on Friday December 6th to tie the bows on the Wreaths. We will then take a break and meet at 1:00 PM
at the Gettysburg National Cemetery at the Taneytown Road entrance.
After a short ceremony we will place the Wreaths. The following day, Saturday December 7th we will meet at 10:00AM at the Quantico National Cemetery and place the Wreaths there.
Please
