The annual “Wreaths Across America” deadline has now been extended to December 15th. The deadline is two days before the actual Wreaths Across Knox County ceremony on Saturday, December 17th.
The program is a joint effort by both the Vincennes Rotary and Kiwanis clubs. The wreaths are 15 dollars each; orders may be placed at the Vincennes Water Department at 403 Busseron, or Henderson Transfer at 1611 Broadway. The orders also may be placed online at wreathsacrossamerica.org.
Volunteers are also being requested for the ceremony itself on December 17th at Memorial Park Cemetery in Vincennes. The volunteers will help place wreaths on the graves of deceased veterans. At that, time, participants may also place them on the graves of the friends or loved ones.
