Wreaths Across America December 2020
Remembrance trees tags in honor of our members' ancestor Civil War heroes have been placed in section DUVCW on the Balsam Valley Tip Land in Jonesboro, Maine. The ancestor's trees will stand as their living memorial for the lifetime of the tree. Their trees will be tipped every three years and those tips will be used to make veterans remembrance wreaths that will be placed on other veterans' graves across the country on National Wreaths Across America Day. We have 46 trees, one for each of our ancestors, in our own grove, exclusively for DUVCW Nancy Hanks Lincoln Tent 5 San Diego. |
