[PGR_PA_r5] ***UNCHECKED*** WAA for Indiantown Gap National Cemetery

[PGRPA Hoth East East]

*Due to Covid-19 this year's wreath placement to honor our veterans at
Indiantown Gap National Cemetery **will be totally different. Please read
below for full details.*

We will not be participating as a group Patriot Guard Mission due to these
Covid-19 restrictions.

This year, the National Wreaths Across America Day ceremony for Indiantown
Gap National Cemetery will be shared virtually on Saturday, December 19th,
2020 online at www.facebook.com/WAAIGNCPA.

There will not be a public ceremony or wreath placement. For more
information contact wreathsindiantowngap at gmail.com.

Saturday, December 19th, there will not be a live Ceremony this year. It
will be pre-recorded and sent out to media stations, as well as be played
on our Facebook page at noon ET, with a link on the Wreaths Across America
Indiantown Gap Facebook page.

Due to crowd-size restrictions, wreath placement will also look a lot
different. We are limited to the number of volunteers able to be on the
Cemetery at one time. For that reason, the decision has been made to not
open the wreath placement to the general public. Instead, wreath placement
will be completed by yearly Wreath Distribution and Security Teams, along
with Sponsorship Groups (first come, first served), to fill in time slots
throughout the day, beginning at 7:00 AM.

Grave Specific wreaths will be available only on Wednesday, Dec. 16,
Thursday, Dec. 17, and Friday, Dec. 18, from 9 am until 5 pm. WAA and IGNC
ask that everyone adhere to the current CDC mask guidelines, and practice
social distancing while picking up and placing your wreath(s) at your loved
one’s grave. If you are not able to place your Grave Specific wreath, we
will, as we have in the past, have someone place it on your behalf, and
email a photograph to you. It’s important that you email
wreathsindiantowngap at gmail.com to confirm your Grave Specific order, so we
know where to email the photo.

After Grave Specific Wreaths are placed, each section will receive a number
of wreaths, to be placed, at a minimum, in the front row(s) of each
section. We are hopeful, that after two years of full coverage with a
wreath on every grave, that would happen again in 2020. In the event there
is not a wreath for every grave, a Penny Drive is being organized, so that
a penny can be placed on any grave that doesn’t receive a wreath, as we say
the veteran’s name, as we remember their life, service and sacrifice. Every
name will be said – every veteran will be remembered.
