CAP Seeks Vets to Place Wreaths at the Wreaths Across America Ceremony

The Bismarck Squadron Civil Air Patrol (CAP) will facilitate this year’s Wreaths Across America event at the ND Veterans Cemetery on December 15th starting at 11am. The event will culminate with adorning all gravesites – over 6,600 - with a holiday wreath. The event will occur simultaneously with over 1,000 other ceremonies at locations in the United States and beyond, and will be highlighted by the placement of military service ceremonial wreaths by veterans of each respective service. CAP is currently seeking nominations from the community for veterans from each service to place these ceremonial wreaths as part of the WAA event program.

The ceremonial wreath presenters will be selected via a random drawing based on online nominations. Anyone can nominate a veteran to place a wreath on behalf of their service, as well as for those service members still listed as a Prisoner of War or Missing in Action. Nominations can be made by going to www.bismarckcap.com and selecting the link to nominate a veteran. Anyone in the community can nominate a veteran, and veterans can nominate themselves.

Bismarck CAP is asking for all nominations to be made no later than Friday, December 7th. Those selected will be contacted shortly afterward.
