NASHVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Each Christmas, volunteers with Wreaths Across America work to place wreaths at the graves of veterans. In 2014, more than 700,000 wreaths were laid at more than 1,000 cemeteries and memorial sites.
There are more than 11,000 graves at Middle Tennessee State Veterans Cemetery and so far, the local Wreaths Across America chapter has collected just more than 3,000 wreaths, according to WKRN.
Organizers say they have an urgent need for donations to make sure these veterans are remembered and honored this year.
The deadline to sponsor a wreath is December 3.
