REMEMBER the Fallen. . . HONOR those who Serve. . . TEACH our children the value of Freedom.
Welcome to the AL0155P - Colonel Ola Lee Mize Division, USNSCC's Wreaths Across America Page.
On December 14, 2024 at 12:00 pm, AL0155P - Colonel Ola Lee Mize Division, USNSCC will be helping Crestwood Memorial Cemetery to Remember and Honor our veterans by laying Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes. Our namesake Colonel Ola Lee Mize, USA (retired) is laid to rest in the Military Section. As part of the "laying" of the wreath we say aloud the Veteran's name, as some of these men and women no longer have family that visit them. This also goes with the Soldier's Oath to "leave no one behind". Our namesake Colonel Mize exhibited this oath on the day and the events which earned him the "Medal of Honor". Help us to "Leave no one behind".
Please help us honor and remember as many fallen heroes as possible by sponsoring remembrance wreaths, volunteering on Wreaths Day, or inviting your family and friends to attend with you.
Thank you so much for supporting the AL0155P - Colonel Ola Lee Mize Division, USNSCC and Wreaths Across America!
