ST. LOUIS — Senior Veterans Inc. is urgently seeking donations to ensure fallen soldiers at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery are honored this holiday season. The cemetery holds 200,000 veterans’ graves, but only 26,000 wreaths have been ordered so far.
The deadline to contribute is midnight tonight. Each wreath, made of live balsam fir, costs $17, and donations are tax-deductible. Wreaths will be placed on the graves on December 14. Donors can request specific graves for their wreaths at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery.
For those who wish to help, time is running out to honor these heroes. Go to MissouriHonor.com to donate.
