Additional Information

Laramie VFW Post 2221, 2142 E Garfield, is hosting a Wreaths Across America (WAA) Indian Taco fundraising dinner, Friday, October 4, from 5 pm – 7 pm. The dinner is co-hosted by WAA fundraising partners, Jacques Laramie Chapter of the Daughters of the America Revolution (DAR) and Laramie Valley Composite Squadron Civil Air Patrol (CAP). Funds raised will buy wreaths to place on veteran graves at Greenhill Cemetery this holiday season. Tickets are $12 at the door, and the dinner will also feature a silent auction.
Wreaths Across American began in 1992, when Worcester Wreaths was left with a surplus of wreaths at the end of the holiday season. Arrangements were made for the wreaths to be placed at Arlington National Cemetery. The project has grown, and in 2018 nearly 1,8,000,000 wreaths were placed at more than 1,600 locations worldwide, including more than 500 at Greenhill Cemetery.

Wreaths will be placed Saturday, December 14 beginning at 11 am.
