Wreaths Across America

By Larry Marsolais

I wanted to pass along some information about something new happening in Hampton this year.

Wreaths Across America will be celebrated thanks to the McGrail family of Hampton, which usually visits The Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C., for Wreaths Across America. Due to Covid conditions, they instead plan to place wreaths on the graves of all Hampton veterans. There are 1,050 veterans in our Hampton cemeteries. In order to support the McGrails and honor our veterans, contributions are needed. Wreaths are $15. Their goal is to raise $15,750. Let’s do this together! Checks should be Payable to Wreaths Across America, c/o Preston Real Estate, Ocean Blvd, Seabrook NH 03874. Checks must be received prior to Nov. 22. Or Venmo @HamptonWreathes.

The whole community is welcome to participate. Let’s all help to make this a successful event to honor fallen veterans, and to thank those who have served and those who continue to do so.
