The Middlesex Veterans are sponsoring this year’s Wreath Across America Day, which will be held Saturday, December, 16, 2023 at the Overackers Cemetery in Middlesex, New York.

A single wreath is only $17 and tax deductible. Several other donation levels are also available. Please become a sponsor to help us reach this year’s goal of placing wreaths on the 141 servicemen and women buried in Overackers Cemetery. Wreaths sponsorships can be made online at www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/NY0458.

This year’s theme is “Serve & Succeed,” and the mission is to “Remember the Fallen, Honor those who Serve, and Teach our children the value of Freedom.”

The public is invited to attend the wreath-laying ceremony on December 16th, beginning at noon, and participate in the placing of the wreaths immediately following the ceremony.
