The Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 203 donated to Wreathes Across Chattanooga and honored the veterans at the Chattanooga National Cemetery.
With this donation from the Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 203, 100 wreaths are now placed on the gravesites at the Chattanooga National Cemetery.
For 2019, the Wreaths across Chattanooga campaign is well on its way to exceed the almost 10,000 wreaths of 2018. While the Wreaths of Chattanooga has ended its 2019 year campaign, if you were not able to donate this year, there is still an opportunity to start donating for next year’s campaign.
U. S. Navy (Retired) Captain Mickey McCamish, co-chair said, “The mission of Wreaths across Chattanooga is to lay a wreath on every gravestone at Chattanooga National Cemetery and in so doing is to remember all Chattanooga area veterans who served our country, honor the lives of those who served and made the ultimate sacrifice and teach the value of freedom about those who protected our freedom. This is an opportunity to connect the Greatest Generations with the Generation of Hope and an opportunity to honor our Chattanooga heroes.”
To donate to Wreaths Across Chattanooga, please mail a check payable to Wreaths Across Chattanooga, Attention Captain Mickey McCamish, 180 Hamm Road, Chattanooga, TN 37405.
