The time has come to remove the wreaths, take a deep breath, and start preparing for next year.

On Saturday, January 16 2021 we plan to remove the wreaths and need your help with mustering up volunteers to remove the wreaths at the State Veterans Cemetery in Middletown AND Col. Gates Cemetery in Rocky Hill (Across from the DVA Campus).
There are about 10K wreaths placed in Middletown and about 1600 placed in Rocky Hill. Start time 0900 hours.

We must stay below 150 people and socially distance. CDC and State Guidelines will be followed.
Thank you!!
