Honoring Veterans

As this year comes to an end we must be thankful for the many men and women who have put their life on hold to keep us safe.   

Remember that many of these veteran's are resting peacefully in the Cape Coral Cemetery  have no family present to honor them at Christmas.  Isn't it up to us to let them know that we honor the time they gave us to keep us free. 

So let us all gather together on December 14th to place a wreath on each and every veteran's grave and by saying their name and thanking them one more time letting then know they are not forgotten.

VOLUNTEERS are needed the following dated:

December 7th 2019   Marking the Sites   9 am

December 14th 2019  Placing the Wreaths  11 am

                                    Ceremony        noon  12 pm

If you can volunteer please sign up at the VFW of text 239-671-8135.

You can also help by sponsoring a wreath in memory of or to honor a veteran.

To sponsor a wreath: Make a check out to Wreaths Across America and mail it to P.O. Box 325, St. James City, FL. 33956, or place the envelope in the Auxiliary box in the hall.  Or you can go online to
