Wreaths Across America recognizes the sacrifice that many soldiers made fighting for their country by placing Christmas wreaths on their graves. Sponsored by Guthrie’s Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC), the organization needs sponsors and volunteers to continue with their operations.
As of now, 348 graves will be decorated with wreaths, or about 22% of the cemetery, located at 1808 North Pine Street. The remainder of the graves are still lacking wreaths, with just over two weeks left for sponsorships.
There are 1,252 wreaths that still need to be sponsored in order for the cemetery to be fully decorated. Each wreath costs $17 and donations can be submitted at wreathsacrossamerica. org or call Guthrie JROTC
