Re: “They are in need of sponsorships at $15.00 per wreath...”
Where are they getting these wreaths? Nordstroms? $15 per wreath strikes me as outrageous. Done in bulk and made out of tree trimmings, the cost should probably be something more like $1 per wreath. America's war dead total is in the ballpark of 1.3 million, so these wreaths cost 20 million dollars! They last a few weeks, are seen by very few people, and then get tossed. Not one of the dead soldiers enjoys them for even a second.

I think that's nuts ... not a good use of a whole lot of money ... and maybe even fraudulent. What does the organization behind this pay its managers and staff? Inquiring minds want to know.

This is an organization that places wreaths on fallen soldiers graves at Arlington and other cemetaries across America where soldiers are laid at rest.

They are in need of sponsorships at $15.00 per wreath...
Its one of my favorite charities to help support my fallen brothers in arms. They are not forgotten..

If you feel led to lay a wreath on a soldiers final resting place I would be greatly honored and grateful.

Thanks all!
