Event Description

“Cemeteries are for the living. Every stone tells a story.”

On behalf of the Patriot Guard Riders and our other Fundraising Groups we thank you for your support of Wreaths Across America Day 2015 at the Jacksonville National Cemetery! With your support we will place over 7400 wreaths this year, one for every headstone!!

Buses or large capacity vans needed!
We need volunteers to help transport people between off site parking and around the cemetery. The Boy Scouts of Troop 268 / Mandarin United Church will have their bus there to help. XL Carts is donating the use of several of their carts! However, if anyone can help us in getting a couple more busses/vans that will help out a lot. If you do, please have the driver let our parking volunteers know they are here to help shuttle participants.

Chairs/Seating
Please feel free to bring a chair or two. If you know of a group or organization that can bring chairs please let them know to be at the cemetery at 9:00am. Please let our parking volunteers know that you are delivering chairs for the program. Bringing your own chair is strongly encouraged!!

There are several other ways you can sponsor a wreath to be placed at the Jacksonville National Cemetery.

The first is the Patriot Pair, with the Patriot Pair a wreath just like the ones placed at cemeteries all over the country will be shipped to the address of your choice. The Patriot Pair is $40, which includes the shipping cost. The Patriot Pair sponsorship form can be downloaded from our Order Forms page, http://wreathsacrossamericajacksonville.com/order-forms/.

Next is the Military Tribute Pair, with the Military Tribute Pair a wreath with the American Flag and the Branch of Service flag of your choice will be shipped to the address of your choice. The Military Tribute Pair is $44.50, which includes the shipping cost. The Military Tribute Pair sponsorship form can be downloaded from our Order Forms page, http://wreathsacrossamericajacksonville.com/order-forms/.

The last of the three additional methods of wreath sponsorships is the Red Hat Brigade Early Education Package. For $27.00 (includes $2.00 shipping cost) a wreath will be placed at the Jacksonville National Cemetery and a child’s Red Stocking Cap with a Wreaths Across America logo pin and the Daisy Dog and the Parade of Purpose coloring book will be shipped to the address of your choice. The Early Education Package sponsorship form can be downloaded from our Order Forms page, http://wreathsacrossamericajacksonville.com/order-forms/.

GOOD NEWS! All three of these options can be purchased with a credit or debit card!! I received guidance from WAA HQ that with the certain steps being made the Jacksonville National Cemetery will receive credit for the sponsorship while using the WAA website to order these.

You can go directly to the WAA Store here, http://www.waastore.com/. After selecting the option of your choice (if you are ordering the Patriot or Military Tribute Pairs be sure to enter the date you want your wreath shipped) when you get to the Shopping Cart page you will have to make two (2) entries. In the Location and / or Group ID you will need to first enter “FLJNC” then click Go!, once the page refreshes you will then need to enter “FL0056” then click Go! again. If you do not enter these ID codes the sponsored wreath will not be credited to the Jacksonville National Cemetery.

In the next box Calculate Shipping you will need to enter your zip code to then choose the shipping method. BE ADVISED the cost of shipping via credit/debit card is NOT the flat $10 rate when using the forms!!

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
