Ceremony and Volunteer Information

We are happy that you are willing to help with our Wreath Across America ceremony at Resurrection Cemetery.  Please do not forget to register to volunteer! That way you will get all updates about the cemetery itself.  Wreaths are not placed until after the ceremony.

Here are some things to remember about the ceremony:

• Everyone of all ages and backgrounds is welcome.
• Our ceremony begins promptly at noon and wreaths will be placed after the ceremony.
• Please help ensure that all participants get the opportunity to place a wreath.
• Please follow the location coordinators instructions on where to place wreaths, as well as "how" they should be placed.
• We especially appreciate volunteers willing to help clean-up. Please check in with the location coordinator if you are interested in helping with the clean-up.

The most important thing to remember is to have a wonderful experience participating in the ceremony and thank you so much for help Wreaths achieve our mission to remember, honor and teach.

This year we are adding a "teachable opportunity" for our youths.  We will have an essay contest (to those that would care to participate) in 3-4 different age groups. One would be 5-8 year olds, one 9-13 year olds, and 14-18 year olds. (If anyone has an educational background and thinks the age groups should be different, please let me know.) My idea would be:

1. Write a couple names of veterans they place wreaths on.

2. Research their names to find out about them

3. Write a paper on their hero.

Requirements would be different for each age group, but the main point would be the learning aspect of the heroes. I always tell my grandaughter Chloe when we go places that this is a teachable moment and that is a main focus of WAA. Medal of Honor recipient Jim McCloughan will sign shirts for the winner in each age group and there will be other prizes, too.   They will also be put them on my new website www.heroesofmichigantravelingmemorial.com The grand prize winner will also place the POW/MIA wreath next year.
