At Congressional, we remember our veterans. And this year, we are proud to work once again with Wreaths Across America to do just that. We hope that you will consider a donation to help fund the costs of wreaths that will be laid at veteran graves on December 13. After a ceremony at 11:00 AM, our volunteers, along with active duty service members, will lay the donated wreaths.
Please help our location lay wreaths at as many graves as possible by clicking the red "Sponsor" button
