"A Hero dies twice, once with his death and twice if his name is not spoken."

Welcome to the CA0609 - Wreaths Across America CA0609's Wreaths Across America Page. 

WHO WE ARE:

In 2019 three girls set out in their community with one important mission in mind...place a wreath and honor our heroes. Unsure where to go they contacted a local veteran organization and learned of many monuments around the county as well as the many heroes resting at the Carter Cemetery in Tuolumne. With less than 20 wreaths the girls started pulling garland apart and designing their own make shift wreaths in order to place more. Though they did not have enough they spent the day visiting each resting place and monument reading the names one by one so they were not forgotten. They vowed after that day that 2020 would have a wreath for each resting place no matter what it took. This year they have teamed up with Wreaths Across America to do just that. With your help, each resting place and memorial will have a wreath. 

OUR INSPIRATION:

Hello, I am Jessica Reibin, founder of Wreaths of Honor. I am 15 years old and native to Tuolumne County. My motivation is Lance Corporal Travis Desiato of the first Battalion 8th Marines killed in Iraq on November 15, 2004. Though I was not born until 2007, some part of me says that I met him, hugged him and accepted this mission to honor him and his fallen brothers and sisters. I know he is with me through family as I feel him each time I hug his sister, my best friend. "Des" was only 19 years old when he made the choice to defend our country and lay down his life. I will speak his name for always and help to make sure the names of his fallen brothers and sisters are spoken and not forgotten. Please help me honor him and our local hero's by sponsoring a wreath.

Hi there! My name is Christyannah Danicourt co-founder of Wreaths of Honor. I am 18 years old and also a native to Tuolumne County. Community service is something I have a passion for and I am so excited to be a part of this project. Honoring those who have fought for the freedoms we have in America is very important to me. Not only should we give thanks and respect to our Veterans that still march the ground of this earth, but also those whose journeys have ended. I hope to set an example and encourage others around my age to love our country and honor the many men and women who set the waves in motion for us to have the safety we do. Thank you for stopping by our site!

Hello my name is Kiera Danicourt co- founder of Wreaths of Honor. I am 15 years old and native to Tuolumne County. I love supporting and honoring our veterans, both those still here and those who have passed on. I am so proud to be able to show my respects by laying wreaths upon the resting places of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. I feel that more children should be involved in activities like this. We need to keep the names of these men and women alive, remembered and cherished. I encourage you to join us in honoring these hero's. 

On December 14, 2024 at 09:00 am, CA0609 - Wreaths Across America CA0609 will be helping Carters Cemetery to Remember and Honor our veterans by laying Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes.

Please help us honor, remember and speak the names of as many fallen heroes as possible by sponsoring remembrance wreaths or volunteering on Wreaths Day.

Thank you so much for supporting the CA0609 - Wreaths Across America CA0609 and Wreaths Across America!
