Wreaths Across America

The Asbury Park Rotary will be supporting Wreath’s Across America this year at Mount Calvary Cemetery Rt 66 Neptune with a ceremony open to the public at 12 P.M. We encourage the public to come out and join our members at the wreath laying ceremony as we will place 385 wreaths on each veteran’s grave to Remember those who fought and died for our freedom’s, to Honor their sacrifice and to Teach our children about the true costs of freedom.

 

Wreaths Across America is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded to continue and expand the annual wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery begun by Maine businessman Morrill Worcester in 1992. The organization’s mission – Remember, Honor, Teach – is carried out in part each year by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies in December at Arlington, as well as at hundreds of veterans’ cemeteries and other locations in all 50 states and beyond.
