This year, the ceremony, held simultaneously across the country at more than 1,000 locations, will be on Saturday, Dec. 17, 2016. The goal: to place a live, balsam fir wreath at the headstone of every veteran buried there and say each person’s name, so their memory lives on. The Stratford Eagles Squadron is hosting a fundraisers to sponsor the 2, 501 wreaths needed to honor every veteran at Mountain Grove. Each wreath sponsorship costs $15, with $5 going to the local fundraising group as part of a special fundraising program developed by WAA.
