December 3rd is fast approaching, and the John E. Jacobs American Legion Post 68 in Leland, NC, needs community support to ensure that each veteran’s grave at Wilmington’s National Cemetery is honored and receives a wreath placement.
The Wreaths Across America (WAA) mission is to Remember, Honor, and Teach. In all they do, WAA strives to fulfill their core values: Remember the fallen, Honor those who serve and their families, and Teach future generations about the sacrifices made to preserve our freedoms. WAA upholds these values in part by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies each December at veterans’ cemeteries in all 50 U.S. states. As a non-profit organization that receives no government funding, the cost of its programs is paid by individual wreath sponsors, corporate donors, and volunteers.
A portion of your wreath donation will benefit John E. Jacob’s American Legion Post 68’s efforts to aid local veterans, schools, and other local organizations through a variety of programs. Wreaths Across America understands the strong emotional connection, love for America, and appreciation for our military personnel and veterans.

The cemetery is located at 2011 Market St, Wilmington, NC 28403. All members of the public are invited to attend and participate in the wreath placement ceremony.
