Welcome to the IL0124 - Coe-Lamb Post 421's Wreaths Across America Page.
On December 14, 2024 at 11:00 am, IL0124 - Coe-Lamb Post 421 will be helping Rock Island National Cemetery to Remember and Honor our veterans by laying Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes.
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. We have chosen the "3 for 2" option of sponsorship which provides 3 wreaths for every two wreaths sponsored.
Thank you so much for supporting the IL0124 - Coe-Lamb Post 421 and Wreaths Across America!
