Wreaths Across America
Sponsor a Wreath TODAY! The deadline is coming up in November and we want to cover all the markers at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona on Wreaths Across America Day. We need thousands of wreaths sponsored to make this possible. For every two wreaths sponsored using the Youth for Troops link, three wreaths will be delivered the day of the event. We want to fill semi-trucks with wreaths to honor our heroes. We invite you to participate in the ceremony on December 16th.
