Local organizers are working to ensure that every veteran laid to rest at Oak Hill Cemetery is honored during National Wreaths Across America Day on Dec. 13.

The General Daniel Newnan Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution is seeking community support to sponsor wreaths that will be placed at the graves of veterans during the annual ceremony. Each sponsorship is $17 and provides a fresh balsam wreath that will be laid at a veteran’s headstone.

In addition to the wreath placement, volunteers will speak each veteran’s name aloud as a gesture of remembrance and gratitude for their service and sacrifice.

Wreath sponsorships may be purchased online at wreathsacrossamerica.org/GA0220P . The deadline to sponsor a wreath is Dec. 1.
