Wreath Clean Up Day

Annual Wreath Clean Up day. 

UOD: Civilian attire with red PT Shirt.  Dress appropriately for the weather and bring hydration!

GOAL:    To get all wreaths from the headstones into one of the large Waste Management dumpsters

Time:    We will start at 8:00am or whenever you arrive, and we are usually finished before Noon. 

Parking:    Anywhere in the cemetery - please all cars to one side so we can get vehicles and trailers through.

NOTES:

• No ceremony, no meetings, no directions - "Just Do It."

• Currently there is no rain in the forecast, but that is always changing, so please keep an eye on it and dress appropriately.  It may be cold, but it does go very quickly

• Yes, bring your truck and trailer to help move wreaths to the dumpsters.  Pick up the wreath stacks at the curb.

• Dress for the weather and for dirty work.  No need for nice uniforms.

• Please bring gloves.  The wreaths get uncomfortable to carry bare handed.

• Bring a rake or a long pole.  It's easy to stack several wreaths up for transport.  Wagons work great too.

• A long rope with a wreath tied to it works well as a stringer that can simply be pulled along.

• Wheelbarrows do not work well.  They are heavy and can only hold a few wreaths.

• Yes, please bring the kids and your neighbors.
