GRIFFIN: Thank you for supporting Wreaths Across America

Published 8:00 am Saturday, December 24, 2022

On Saturday, Dec. 17, 2022, I had the pleasure of being involved with the ceremony and laying of remembrance wreaths at Georgia Veterans Memorial Cemetery.

We had over 250 individuals to come some as far away at Calhoun, Loganville, Augusta, Columbus, Statesboro and Savannah Georgia all to be part of the 2022 remembrance wreath placement to honor our fallen heroes at Georgia Veterans Cemetery in Milledgeville.

I want to thank those major sponsors, they were, American Legion Auxiliary Unit 233, Loganville, Ga., Albert Gordon Post 56, Jefferson, Ga., American Legion Post 142, Gray, Ga., American Legion Riders, AMVETS Auxiliary #10, Bishop, Ga., Morris-Little Post 6 American Legion Family, Northside Baptist Church, Milledgeville, Ga., Col.  Maidana K. Nunn, Milledgeville, Ga., Pathfinders Christian Church, Milledgeville, Ga., VFW Post 2557, Madison, Ga., Patriot Guard Riders, and Plumbers & Steamfitters Local 72, Atlanta, Ga. I also want to thank those individuals that sponsored wreaths. Without their sponsorship we would not have had enough wreaths for every headstone.

Again it makes me feel proud to be in a community that comes together to honor our fallen heroes. If you are interested in sponsoring a wreath or wreaths for next year you can go to https://www.wreathsacrossamerica/GA0063  or you can email me at jwgriff@aol.com and I will send you a sponsorship form.
