This year will mark the 17th anniversary of Worcester Wreath Company donating Maine wreaths to adorn the headstones of our Nation's veterans at Arlington National Cemetery. In addition to 10,000 wreaths destined for Virginia, Worcester Wreath will again donate 7 ceremonial wreaths to over 200 state and national cemeteries across the country. In addition, wreath-laying ceremonies are being coordinated in 24 foreign cemeteries and aboard naval ships in all 7 seas.

In response to the many voices who wanted to share in the project, the non-profit Wreaths Across America organization was formed (EIN: 20-8362270) to expand the program by offering supporters the opportunity to sponsor a wreath. Wreaths Across America goal is to honor 2500 veterans' graves at each of the over 286 participating locations in 2008 - and to honor every veteran during the holidays.

The El Paso Composite Squadron, Civil Air Patrol is partnering with Wreaths Across America to honor 5,000 veterans in Ft. Bliss National Cemetery and to do so we need your help.

Sponsorships are $15 per wreath. Proceeds will place a wreath on a veterans' headstone at Ft. Bliss National Cemetery, help support the local CAP squadron, and educational and veterans service outreach programs throughout the country.

To sponsor a wreath, please use the form at www.WreathsAcrossAmerica.org. Please be sure to use group ID# TXCAP215 and cemetery sponsored: Ft. Bliss National Cemetery.

Please place orders by November 15, 2008.
