Tonight is the deadline to sponsor wreaths. We have 11k wreaths sponsored, and there are over 80k veterans interred here. Let's honor as many as we can for the holiday season. Orders must be received by midnight tonight.

Please share with all you know so we may adorn as many veterans final duty stations as possible this year. There are over 80k veterans interred at Massachusetts National Cemetery in Bourne, but the most wreaths we have ever received was 25k. This is why we adorn different sections each year, so every veteran will have a chance to have their grave adorned for the holiday season.

Thank you to all who came out for the 2nd half of this great annual patriotic event, Wreaths Removal Day. A light snow fell, but it was a great day at these beautiful hallowed grounds. All 10,564 Wreaths were removed in 2hrs. Outstanding job by all...

Good morning, reminder that we are removing the wreaths this Saturday, 11 January at 10am. There will be no ceremony, we will just remove all the wreaths to the edge of the road and load them onto cemetery vehicles for disposal. Again this year Nauset Disposal has donated the roll-off containers for this great annual patriotic event, and the town of Bourne has waived all disposal fees. Our community, our businesses, and all the thousands of volunteers are what makes this event possible each year. THANK YOU ALL...

Big shout out to Nauset Disposal, this community minded business has donated the 30yrd roll-off containers for the massive amount of cardboard the wreaths arrive in, and the many more we need to dispose of the wreaths on the 2nd half of this great annual patriotic event (Jan 11th at 10am) for the 3rd straight year. We could not accomplish this event without your support.. Thank you Nauset Disposal!!!

Happy New Year.. The second half of this great annual event is to remove the wreaths. We will be removing the wreaths on January 13th at 10am, there will be no ceremony. Just remove the wreaths to the edge of the road and then load them onto the cemetery vehicles for disposal. An old hockey stick works great for this task whereas you can fit quite a few on at a time, and should there be snow, you can use the blade like a ski to push to the roadside. Attached is the verbal map of areas adorned this year. I look forward to seeing you there.
