The actual ceremony details are not yet known, due to COVID-19, but you can still make sure by ordering wreaths NOW that every grave at Fort Bayard will be honored with a wreath.

Attached is the 2020 order form. Please note a few changes for this COVID-19 year of uncertainty:

1. The deadline date has been moved up by one week leaving less time for us to garner orders.

2. No orders can be accepted by phone; the local number is for information only.

3. Times for wreath placement and for the remembrance ceremony are subject to change making it critical that we have your email address in order to keep you informed.

4. At this time the exact form of the remembrance ceremony is unknown; however rest assured that wreaths will be placed and every departed soul will be honored.

If you have already ordered wreaths for this year, thank you for kick-starting the 2020 campaign to repeat last year's success. Please use the attached order form if you need it or want to give one to friends or neighbors; new sponsors are always welcome.

Our email list will be used exclusively to keep you informed about local Wreaths across America (WAA) news. If you need to make any changes to your email address, please respond so that we can make corrections.

With gratitude for your support and sincere thanks for spreading the word,

Wreaths Across America Committee (Ft. Bayard National Cemetery)
