In pursuit of our mission, we have outlined the following goals:
1. Offer Sponsorship opportunities to general public for $16 per wreath, with proceeds going to place the wreaths and support mission to Remember, Honor, and Teach.
2. Deliver to and place 2500 wreaths at each of the over 200 states and national veterans' cemeteries across the country.
3. Place 7 ceremonial wreaths at each of the 24 off shore veterans' cemeteries representing each branch of our armed forces.
4. Involve schools and youth groups to promote patriotism and the meaning and cost of freedom thru educational outreach program.
5. Beginning in Harrington, ME on ..h, a parade of vehicles, led by the Patriot Guard Riders, will form to escort the departure of the wreaths to locations across the country. A week long trip will take in stops at schools, town halls and veterans homes to promote awareness and patriotism.
