Ensure a Wreath is put on all Veteran Graves at Fort Snelling

November 23, 2015 By NBYR

Yes, we have Veterans Day in the fall, and Memorial Day in the spring. But our service men and women sacrifice their time and safety every single day of the year, to preserve our freedoms.

At many homes, there is an empty seat for one who is serving, or one who made the ultimate sacrifice for our Country. We honor our veterans every day. And we think there is no better time to express our appreciation, than during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. We hope you will join us at any of our 700+ participating locations, to show our veterans and their families – that we will not forget. We will never forget.

To make a $15 wreath donation for a Fort Snelling Wreath, click here.  For every 2 wreaths sponsored, DART will donate a third.

Honor our fallen veterans and let’s fill Fort Snelling with wreaths.
