National Wreaths Across America DayDecember 15, 2018

Each December on National Wreaths Across America Day, we Remember, Honor and Teach by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as at more than 1,400 additional locations in all 50 U.S. states, at sea and abroad.

KARW has been sponsoring Luke Jordan a member of the Kingwood HS JROCT. By helping Luke through the purchase of a wreath or wreaths to be placed on Veterans Graves at the Houston VA Cemetry you will be helping to remember all our Service men who have lost their lives. 

For the past four years your donations have ensured that every grave in the Cemetry has a wreath placed on it. You can make your donation by going to

Christmas is comming and KARW will be collecting Toys for Judge Korduba's Toy Drive. If you would like to help you can bring the Toys to anyone of KARWS meetings.
