Help support the placement of wreaths for our
Fallen Veterans at the
 National Cemetery of the Alleghenies


As a surprise to many, no governmental money is received for the wreaths placed at the national cemeteries.  The wreaths and their transportation to the cemeteries are taken care of by individual sponsors, corporate donors, and volunteer truckers.  As the number of graves increases yearly at the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies, the need continues to grow to raise funds for more wreaths.

We are hopeful to continue covering EVERY grave at the National Cemetery and ask for your assistance.  Our Detachment participates in the "Three for Two" Program - 100% of the funds we raise for this program go directly to the purchase of wreaths for the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies - we do no receive payment for our fundraising efforts.  Thus, for every two wreaths sponsored ($34), a third will be placed at no additional cost.
