The time has come to pick up the wreaths that were placed at the Jacksonville National Cemetery during the Wreaths Across America 2014 Remembrance program.

For those with pickup trucks and trailers please be at the cemetery between 8:30 to 9:00am. All others please arrive no earlier than 9:15am. This time split will allow those with trucks and trailers to maneuver freely to get into position for the wreath pick up. Wreaths will NOT be picked up until after the informational briefing.

Our continuing thanks to John Arwood of Arwood Waste & Demolition for the donation of the cardboard recycling dumpster and the dumpsters to haul away the wreaths from this year’s program!

This year’s forecast is for mostly clear with a morning low of 41 degrees. As with the wreath laying, clean up is a rain or shine event.

Remember to bring cheap gloves to handle the wreaths, as the sap is still running! If you have a strong wooden pole or even a length of rope bring it, it will help remove a number of wreaths at one time and save your back!

Ride Safely,
