ATTENTION ST. CROIX SQUADRON!
It is that time a year again when we participate in the annual Wreaths Across America wreath laying campaign at Fort Snelling National Cemetery on Saturday, 14 DEC 2024.
We will be gathering at the St. Croix hangar starting at 08:30 am and will all leave together NLT 09:00 hours to travel to Fort Snelling where we will participate in the events scheduled in the morning.

On arrival, we will check in with the Minnesota Wing project officer to let them know we are here.  Traditionally, we will participate in the setting up of the main event at the flagpole roundabout and center piece where the ceremonial service will be held at 11:00 am.

In addition to this we have volunteered to be assigned individual grave sites where we will go out among the areas, find a specific grave and lay a wreath for that service member's family that has requested this by the WAA program.  We will record it, lay it at the headstone and give a final salute with a photo.

There will be a sign up for this at the squadron meeting for the next two weeks up to this event.  If you would like to ride in the squadron van to and from this event, you need to be quick, there are only 9 seats open in the van.  It is on a first come - first served basis.

All others can ride in POV's with other seniors who have signed up as well if needed ( you will need to specify this) or you and your family can meet us in the main area at Fort Snelling by 09:30 ish.  You cannot miss us.  We intend to leave Fort Snelling at 13:15 at the very latest to come back to St. Croix.

More details are forthcoming on this event!  If you have participated in the past, you know how this works. Members who show up at STX without the proper cold weather gear will be sent home with their parents.  A CAPF60-80 is attached to this email and shall be enforced to the letter.  Cadets, Please keep your parents appraised about the details of this event.

This is for a great cause - HOO-AH!
Thank you.
Maj. Richardson, Project officer.
