Darien’s Wreaths Across America group and Darien Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #6933 sincerely appreciate all the help received in placing the wreaths on Dec. 15.
It is now time to remove them.
Volunteers are needed for Wreath Removal at 8 a.m., Saturday, Jan. 26, 2019 at the cemetery on Hecker Avenue. All interested volunteers should meet by the Karl Lang monument in the center of the veterans cemetery.

All are welcome to come and help retire the wreaths. Many hands make light the work so everyone is encouraged to come out early on Saturday to help place the wreaths in the trucks and trailer provided by David Gartrell, for their trip to the disposal area.
In case of really inclement weather we will postpone the removal to the following Saturday, Feb. 2.
