Barrancas Wreaths BOGO through Jan. 16

The Big Lagoon Kiwanians are soliciting early donations with help from Wreaths Across America by offering a two for one wreaths deal in hopes of placing wreaths on every single veterans’ grave at Barrancas Cemetery onboard NAS on Dec. 14, 2024. WAA will match dollars wreath for wreath through Jan. 16. These wreathes are intended for veteran’s graves that are not supported by a sponsor.
Last year the Kiwanians laid wreaths on 29,500 of the 45,000 graves at Barrancas. For more info, visit BarrancasWreaths.com.
Also, volunteers needed to remove wreaths throughout the cemetery on Jan. 23. Info: mhaygood@mpgpc.com
“Thanks to the 2023 sponsors we were able to honor all veterans on the new side of Barrancas, unfortunately, only about 55 percent of the headstones on the historic side received wreaths,’’ said Martin Haygood. “If most of our sponsors order through the offer, we can meet the goal of honoring and remembering all resting at Barrancas.’’
