Welcome to Estero Island Chapter DAR's Wreaths Across America Page.
On Saturday, December 14, 2024 (See location pages for ceremony and wreath placement details), Estero Island DAR will be helping to Remember and Honor our veterans by laying Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes at the Bonita Springs Historic Cemetery.
Please help us honor and remember as many fallen heroes as possible by sponsoring wreaths for these veterans. Your wreath may be sponsored "In Memory Of" a loved one, regardless the time or location of Service or where they are interred.
