Yet Jill Stein has more money than she needs for the silly recounts.
The government wastes trillions but can’t do anything for it’s vets.
Send this to Trump...That’ll take care of it.
Our Trail Life USA Troop participated this year selling wreaths. We’re not going to Arlington though. We’ll be placing wreaths at a national cemetery in Baltimore.
Thanks for posting that - I donated for a friend who doesn’t want more “stuff” for a gift.
Already purchased 10 wreaths for Indiantown Gap National Cemetery.
I do every year.
It sounds like a worthy cause, but I have to ask , where is all the money going? $15 is an awlful lot per wreath when you buy wholesale by the hundreds of thousands.
WAA says on their website that they return $5 of every $15 to fund-raising groups. They also do education and outreach.
Charity Navigator does not rate them, because WAA does not receive most its money from individuals, but from the gov’t or program services, according to CN.
My grandparents and uncle are buried at Arlington, and I support a wreath-laying charity in theory.
This is post Trump election prep for all the endless reports of the...
1. homeless
2. budget cuts
3. deportations
4. wife beatings
5. wretched excesses of “winners of life’s lottery”
All four of my grandparents are at Arlington. Born between 1886 and 1891.
Should You Donate to Wreaths Across America? A Lesson in Charitable Giving
According to its website, Wreaths Across America was founded in 2007 by the Worcester family. The patriarch, Morrill Worcester, is president of Worcester Wreaths, a for-profit wreath-making company. His wife, Karen Worcester, is the executive director of the nonprofit Wreaths Across America.
Every wreath used by Wreaths Across America is purchased with donated money from the for-profit company that started it, Worcester Wreath.

Scandalous.
Does every grave at Arlington where a wreath is placed include the graves of the Confederate soldiers buried there?
