This is a Nationwide fundraising effort to provide a live Maine Balsam Wreath for every Veteran’s grave each Christmas season. Locally the Blue Star Salute endeavor is to place a wreath on every gravesite at the Alabama National Cemetery. Program begins at 11 a.m. on December 17, 2016. In 2016 we will need some 4,100- 4,400 wreaths for our Cemetery. All wreath sponsors and family members of those buried within ALNC are invited and strongly encouraged to attend and participate in the wreathlaying ceremony. The cost of each wreath is $15 – those interested in purchasing a wreath for next year’s ceremony should contact Glenn Nivens at 205-672-2887. The program is sponsored by the Blue Star Salute Foundation of Alabama
