The Minnesota Civil Air Patrol will be placing donated wreaths at a wreath laying ceremony on Saturday December 12th at Fort Snelling National Cemetery. They will be meeting at the Main Flagpole area at 11:00 to begin the ceremony with a moment of silence, followed by a brief address and then there will be wreaths placed at each military service branch flagpole monument. From there wreaths will then be placed at the gravestones in Section 9A. Last year over 400 wreaths were placed in Section T at Fort Snelling National Cemetery.
Your purchase of a $10.00 wreath will help to ensure that those who have fallen will be remembered this holiday season. You can purchase the wreath at any check out and Gertens will hold onto the wreaths until they are picked up on December 11th.
