WE ARE PLANNING A LIMITED-PARTICIPATION PACKING (DUE TO SOCIAL DISTANCING REQUIREMENTS) FOR AUGUST 2020.  

 If you know someone in the military who is deployed

(i.e.,stationed outside of the United States), please

send their complete name and address to

we can be sure the boxes will be delivered prior to

their departure from the deployment area.

 Wreaths Across America

Thanks to all who helped us honor our veterans buried at Florence National Cemetery in 2019...over 8,000!!  However, with nearly 11,000 veterans buried there, we have our work cut out for us in 2020.  Please check out our Wreaths Across America Page for more information about how to sponsor wreaths.  As a registered sponsor, Blue Star Mothers of Coastal Carolina receives one free wreath for every two wreaths ordered through us!

WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA

For information on how to order wreaths on-line and pay with a credit card or electronic check, please go to our Wreaths Across America page! 

For the past 7 years, we have been registered sponsors for Wreaths Across America.  We hope to one day raise enough money to sponsor a wreath for every single veteran buried at Florence National Cemetery this December.  For every 2 wreaths sponsored through Blue Star Mothers of Coastal Carolina, Wreaths Across America provides a 3rd one for free.  Check out our Wreaths Across America page for more information about the program.  You can retrieve an order form from that link.
