To sponsor your wreath(s) at $17 each or to volunteer to help place wreaths on December 19, please visit www. wreathsacrossamerica.org/ MA0136P. There will be a ceremony at noon to honor all branches of the military followed by laying wreaths on our fallen heroes. Invite your friends and family to join us in honoring our servicemen and women. The cut-off date to order is Nov. 28. The Chapter’s first year sponsoring this event was 2021, which had over 360 wreaths sponsored. The community really stepped up and we Clean-Outs! We take and dispose from cellars, attics, garages, yards, etc. Call Robert at: 781-844-0472 are grateful for all the support we received. Last year, we increased the number of wreaths to 750. However, there are more than 1,500 veterans’ graves in Riverside, and we are hoping that between the community and businesses there will be enough sponsored wreaths to cover all those graves this year. The Daughters of the American Revolution’s mission is to preserve American history and secure America’s future through education and promoting patriotism.
