CLAY COUNTY – The National Wreaths Across America Day will be held on Saturday, Dec. 16. Join the more than two million volunteers and supporters who will gather to Remember, Honor and Teach at more than 4,000 participating locations in all 50 states, at sea and abroad.

The event will include three locations in Clay County – Magnolia Cemetary, 1040 Kingsley Ave. in Orange Park at 9:30 a.m.; Keystone Heights Memorial Gardens, 7304 State Road 100 at noon; and Hardage-Giddens Holly Hill Memorial Park, 3601 Old Jennings Road in Middleburg at noon.

Sponsor a veteran’s wreath in honor of or in memory of a loved one who served in the armed forces. Or, sponsor and allow the group to designate a recipient among the millions of heroes who rest in honored glory. To sponsor a wreath, visit wreathsacrossamerica.com.

Volunteer with the organization as they honor our veterans throughout the year. There are many ways to get involved, from laying wreaths locally to leading a sponsorship group or coordinating a ceremony location.

Invite your network of friends, family, coworkers and organizations to join us as we strive to honor every veteran. As our mission’s scope grows, so does the need for support.
