THE KIWANIS CLUB OF BIG LAGOON HONORS VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES EACH YEAR WITH PRIDE
THANK YOU FOR HONORING A VETERAN WHO HAS NO ONE TO PURCHASE A WREATH TO REMEMBER THEM BY PURCHASING EXTRA WREATHS.
BOGO TILL 17 January 2025
ORDER BEFORE 17 January 2025 and WAA will GIVE A BOGO to go on an UNADORNED GRAVE where there is no one to order for their loved one.
Sponsoring Wreaths at Barrancas National Cemetery
Barrancas National Cemetery has over 50,000 graves. Last year only about 29,500 wreaths were sponsored. We look forward to the day when every grave has a wreath. We welcome orders of all sizes.
Most people sponsor one or more wreaths without a specific grave placement. These are used for mass placements in both the new and old sections of the cemetery, ensuring that no grave is forgotten.
If you request it, we will place a wreath on a specific grave at Barrancas for you. Last year over 2,200 specific grave placements were honored. Please provide us with the veteran's full name and the gravesite Section, Row and Number on your order form. Use the Gravesite Locator button above to check on your loved one's location information. You can request specific placements for multiple graves with the same order. Due to limited volunteer availability we will no longer take and send pictures of the wreaths on the graves.
If you would prefer to place the wreath or wreaths yourself, please indicate that on your order, or we will place them. Include an email address so we can send you directions for wreath pickup in December.
You must have base access to pick up Veterans wreaths. Arrive just before 8am Main Gate. If you are going to the New Side, you will turn right. The Historic Side is a left turn. Please bring gloves, and a broomstick as two people can work together and put about 12-18 Wreaths and carry them together. Pickup Trucks are very helpful as wreaths can be placed directly in them and not put on the ground. Young Marines and Navy will be at the dumpsters to offload all the trucks and trailers. For Questions see a Kiwanis Member in an Orange Vest or Orange Shirt.
