Remember the fallen. Honor those who serve. Teach the next generation the value of freedom.
The North Peoria Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution will be supporting the Wreaths Across America organization by taking orders for wreaths to be placed on gravesites at The National Cemetery in Phoenix in December.
Look for their tent at the Trilogy Farmers Market on Saturday, Oct. 19 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Beautiful, handcrafted wreaths will adorn the graves of our nation’s heroes.
Each wreath sponsorship helps ensure that our veterans are remembered and celebrated with dignity. You can sponsor a wreath for just $17. Grave designation is available to personally honor a friend or loved one.
Some of the proceeds go to active military men and women to help them celebrate the holidays.
