Good evening all –
Earlier today I received an email from Phillip East. Mr. East is with the Onslow Vietnam Veterans Memorial Foundation and serves as the Chairman of Fundraising for the local Wreaths Across America fundraising. He let me know the 9 schools (including the NHS JROTC program) who helped out with the fundraising were able to provide almost $7,000!! He said this “is a very impressive amount considering they did it in just 1 week.”
He wanted to thank you and acknowledge the “assistance of the children and the wonderful staff of the centers of education.” He would also like to extend an invitation to your schools and staff to take part in the wreath laying ceremony to be held at noon on Saturday, December 14 at the Coastal State Veterans Cemetery. I told him I would share the invitation.
