Dec 15 2012 Saturday
Wreaths across NJ ( WWR STYLE )

The WWR has had an ongoing project to place wreaths in honor of those who have served our country and have since passed on. The NJ WWR has done this a little differently then just laying wreaths at grave sites.

We have tried to place Wreaths, as many as we can, at Memorials for Veterans, or in a General Location for Each Cemetery that we can visit in one day.  The First year we placed a few, The Second year we placed 12,  the Third was 28, last year 37… This Year .. LOOKS LIKE AT LEAST 66 Wreaths. … 66 Individual Locations ACROSS NEW JERSEY !!!!

If you’ve never taken part in this event, THIS is a very emotionally rewarding Day.  We always make sure we include a prayer at each wreath location and a moment of silence to reflect on the lives that were lost in the name of freedom.  Whether it is the names we see on the Monuments in the towns, or looking across a sea of white Head stones in these sacred cemetery locations, where you couldn’t help but think of the families and lives that were touched by each death….. it completely overtakes your heart and emotions.

This year again We will be doing Multiple missions on Dec 15. taking place all over NJ. We are calling it the ..2012 Wreaths across NJ ( WWR STYLE ) These individual missions will be spread out all over NJ

Join Us and Take part of laying a wreath for the Heroes and Veterans who have served to ensure the way of life and our freedoms that we all love so dearly.  Place a wreath and hold that moment of silence in your heart…  It is a guarantee that you will walk away with an early Holiday gift.  PLEASE GET INVOLVED and Make this year even Bigger then Last.

Below are the Missions that we did LAST year.  I hope people will step up again to RC these missions. If you see something and want to do it, PLEASE let us know either through a Post or an Email. We will get back to you ASAP with your request.  ALSO… if you have a PLACE or two IE:  Memorial, or Cemetery,  That you would like to place a Wreath, PLEASE Let us know… We will put you on the list below.. Give the Time and location of your rally and we will arrange a time to drop off the Wreaths for you.

WE NEED PEOPLE TO STEP UP and RC these Missions…
IF you did this last year and want to do it again this year, PLEASE LET US KNOW ASAP!!!!!!
Remember… IF you want to ADD to these Missions… LET US KNOW!!!
