The Sons of the American Legion, Squadron 104 located in Sevierville TN, is pleased to be working with Wreaths across America to help them achieve their mission of REMEMBERING the Fallen, HONORING those who Serve and TEACHING our children the value of Freedom.

These 3 things are easy to do, yet we don't take the time do them daily.  We should never forget those who gave the ultimate sacrifice so we could be a free nation.  This year’s theme is "Live With Purpose" and you can help us pay tribute to veterans who are buried in cemeteries here in East Tennessee.  Every year Wreaths Across America along with thousands of volunteers lay live, handmade wreaths at the graves of veterans. We are looking for individuals, families, groups or businesses willing to sponsor those wreaths so at least one day out of the year, our buried veterans are visited, REMEMBERED and HONORED. 

We support the Mission of Wreaths Across America because they don't just decorate a grave.  They along with thousands of volunteers HONOR and say every veteran's name aloud as each wreath is put in its place. Wreaths are only $17.00 each to sponsor and our goal as a group is to find sponsorships for 600 wreaths. 

Please help us HONOR and REMEMBER as many fallen heroes as possible by sponsoring remembrance wreaths or volunteering on December 14, 2024 (See location pages for ceremony and wreath placement details) at one of our local cemeteries.

Thank you so much for supporting Squadron 104 and Wreaths Across America.
