— Our Goal for 2015 was simple —
to replicate what we had accomplished in 2013 & 2014:
To purchase and place a wreath on the gravesite
of every veteran in the town of South Windsor for the holiday season.
First money had to be raised with help from many town residents and volunteers.at SW Heritage Day . . .
at Geissler's and Stop&Shop
supermarkets . . .
supermarkets . . .
To identify these sites in the event that they may be covered with snow . . .
flags had to be placed early
at every Veterans gravesite
at every Veterans gravesite
December 12th
and the crows gathered
on a beautiful day.
