Mrs. Cedar's hometown of Lincoln Maine has identified 950 local veteran graves they hope to honor next Saturday December 14, 2024.
Sadly, as of this morning they have sponsors for only 38. (Now 56 still a long way from 950)
The Lincoln Police Department needs a little help if you can spare $17 or share the following link to sponsor one wreath.

Lincoln is typical small town USA. It is also the home of Master Sergeant Gary Gordon the medal of honor recipient portrayed in the film Black Hawk Down.
Gordon graduated from the same Lincoln Maine high school as Mrs Cedar's mother Mattanawcook Academy Class of 1978.
It would be awesome if they could raise enough money to place wreaths on each area veteran's grave this Christmas.
The Lincoln PD goal of 950 wreaths is a pretty ambitious let's help them out.
Cedar's Take - You will notice that Meckburbia by Cedar Posts is without pop-ups and crazy clickbait. It's not a revenue source for me however its kinda hard to watch a small town police department struggle to get a community project of the ground.
I've seen this before in Lincoln. The people who call the north woods home don't have a lot of spare capital. There's not a big corporate sponsor who will step in at the last minute. So I'll keep pushing this until they at least get to 100 or time runs out.
