Welcome to the TX1380P - ALA Unit 539 Saint Hedwig's Wreaths Across America Page.
On December 14, 2024 at 09:00 am, TX1380P - ALA Unit 539 Saint Hedwig will be helping Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery to Remember and Honor our veterans by laying Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes at Ft. Sam National Cemetery in San Antonio, Texas.
Please help us honor and remember as many fallen heroes as possible by sponsoring remembrance wreaths, volunteering on Wreaths Day, or inviting your family and friends to attend with you. Ft. Sam has over 167,000 friends laid to rest and our goal is to bring a wreath to each one this year.
My name is Patricia Jones-Johnson and I have been involved in Wreaths Across America since 2010. Groups that I have helped fundraise for their mission have included Lone Oak Hermann Sons Dance, St. Anthony's Youth Group, Bexar County 4-H Livestock Judging and now with The American Legion Auxiliary out of St. Hedwig. Remembering, honoring and teaching is what we do best through our efforts to honor each veteran laid to rest at Ft. Sam with the placement of a wreath during a Nationwide Ceremony held for our veterans.
Thank you so much for supporting the TX1380P - ALA Unit 539 Saint Hedwig and Wreaths Across America!
