MANZANITA, CA (MPG) – Manzanita 4-H Club is working with Wreaths Across America to get 100 remembrance wreaths sponsored to mark the resting place of local veterans this coming holiday season.

“Remember the fallen…Honor those who serve…Teach our children the value of Freedom.” Reads the mission statement at the top of the Manzanita 4-H Clubs Wreaths Across America Page.

In cooperation with the Gridley-Biggs Cemetery district, the club will honor and remember veterans by placing evergreen wreaths on the final resting places of fallen heroes.

At the time of this article, 23 wreaths have been sponsored, with a goal of 77 more to go to reach the club’s goal.

Last year the Manzanita 4-H Club was honored with a Certificate of Appreciation by Wreaths Across American for their hard work and dedication to the “Remember – Honor- Teach mission” and were thanked for their unwavering support.

They hope to outdo their 2024 contribution and sponsor even more wreaths this year.

Manzanita 4-H is asking for help with sponsoring wreaths for veterans, but also for volunteers to help place the remembrance wreaths on Dec. 13, beginning at 9 a.m. at the Gridley-Biggs Cemetery.
