Welcome to Washington Crossing Wreaths for Veterans
Thank You Letter to our
Friends
Washington Crossing Wreaths for Veterans (WCWFV)
committee would like to take this time to thank all the groups and individuals
who took part in this year’s 2025 Wreaths Across America (WAA) event.
To the WCWFV committee, Denise Taylor, Fran Grous,
Bernadette Hart, Diane Anderson, Alicia Raffle and Brian Longmore, for all the planning
and implementation it takes to facilitate this event. Also, to our families and friends who gave
their time to assist us throughout the week.
A special thanks to Jason Guenther, his staff and Rich
McNulty and the grounds crew of Washington Crossing National Cemetery (WCNC)
for their support and assistance with the WAA event.
To Kyle McCauley of HML Container Services for
providing the manpower and equipment to unload and stage the wreaths throughout
the cemetery. Also, for the removal of the pallets and cardboard boxes from the
cemetery.
To all the volunteers who came out in the cold weather
on Friday to unpack and stage the wreaths throughout the cemetery and on
Saturday to place the ceremonial wreaths at each headstone. Without your help
and positive attitudes, it would have been one long weekend for WCWFV!
A special thanks to the Pennsylvania State Police
officers and Upper Makefield Township Police department who provided a safe and
orderly traffic flow in WCNC and the local roads. Over 700 cars passed through
the cemetery in a span of three hours.
To Newtown Ambulance Squad for providing onsite
service in case of an emergency. To Rich McColough and William Penn Fire House
for providing their field fire truck to indicate the temporary cemetery
entrance.
To the ambassadors who accepted our invitation to
spend the four hours needed to greet the families, friends and volunteers that
came out to Honor and Remember our Veterans buried at WCNC.
To Rich Behrmann for supplying the ceremony sound
system, and to all the ceremony participants.
A Very Special Thanks to the twenty-some WAA Fundraising
Groups supporting WCNC and ALL the individuals, families, businesses and
companies who also sponsored a wreath(s). Your continued generosity amounted to
74% of Mission, or 15,240 of the 20,749 wreaths needed to Honor all veteran headstones
this year. There are an additional 6,514 veterans interred in the two
Columbaria’s that we were not able to Honor this and in past years, due to the
shortage of funds needed to Honor ALL Veterans!
Keep
in mind that the government and cemetery Do Not supply the wreaths.
ALL
wreaths are sponsored solely by Private Entities.
P.S. Remember to join us
on January 19, 2026, Martin Luther King Day to pick up and dispose of all
wreaths.
It was my Pleasure to Talk, Meet and Work with EVEYONE, in Honoring our Fallen Hero's!
Thank You and Happy Holidays,
