Wreaths Across America at Santa Barbara Cemetery

 

This holiday season Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War (DUVCW), Laura Belle Stoddard Tent 22, will join with millions of volunteers throughout the country to honor our nation’s military veterans by participating in Wreaths Across America Day.  At 10:00 am on December 14th, following a brief ceremony at the Santa Barbara Cemetery located at 901 Channel Drive, wreaths will be distributed amongst the grave sites of Fallen Veterans and those who served in our armed services.  The Santa Barbara cemetery is one of nearly 2,000 participating locations who come together across the country every year in December to Remember, Honor and Teach.

 

The public is invited to sponsor the purchase of wreaths for $15 each, volunteer to help distribute wreaths, and is also encouraged to attend the brief ceremony at the Santa Barbara Cemetery.  

Wreaths may be purchased from DUVCW Laura Belle Stoddard Tent 22’s “Three for Two” program:  https://www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/CA0525     

 

For every two wreaths sponsored, a third will be donated for placement at a veteran’s final resting spot at the beautiful Santa Barbara Cemetery.  The deadline for purchase of a wreath(s) is December 2, 2019.
