Welcome to the PA0254 - Cumberland Valley Corvette Club's Wreaths Across America Page. A few CVCC members first got involved with Wreaths Across America in 2016 when only about one third of the then 27,000 veterans graves at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery got wreaths. It was a moving experience, but very sad to see that most graves did not get a wreath. We wanted to make a difference, so we became a Sponsorship Group. With many other groups we were just a few thousand wreaths short in 2017. In 2018, for the first time ever, all the graves received a Remembrance Wreath! Thankfully, that goal was also reached for the next several years. Unfortunately, in 2022 and again in 2023 not all graves got a wreath and we can’t let that happen again! There will be almost 46,000 graves by December 2024 so we really need your help.
When you sponsor wreaths through our group, for every two wreaths you sponsor, THREE wreaths will be sent to “The Gap” for placement through the “3-for-2” program (like Buy-2-Get-1-Free!). There’s nothing special to do while ordering, it all happens automatically.
Thank you so much for supporting the PA0254 - Cumberland Valley Corvette Club and Wreaths Across America!

We encourage volunteers of all ages to come out to help us. Please dress appropriately for the weather. Volunteers may use a variety of tools to help them remove wreaths from the grave sites. This list includes long handled tools (shovels, rakes, etc.), poles for 2-man carry, sleds, tarps, or any other type of transport that will not make or leave indents on the grass of the grounds.Volunteers are asked to park and leave their vehicles in the parking areas near Columbariums A & B. We can park on either side of the road near that location. We will have a short briefing at approximately 0845 and start the cleanup at 0900.We will also be looking for volunteers that have low-profile dump trailers and/or low-profile dump trucks so that we can easily throw the wreaths into the dump part of your vehicle. Volunteers with the dump trailers and/or dump truck are to meet Craig Butt (aka Toyman) in front of Section 39 to receive instructions and radios. Please be there no later than 0845.After cleanup has been completed, please double check all sections before leaving, we will have an After-Action Review (AAR) at the American Legion Post 910 at 1300.
