WELCOME TO VFW POST 4608

A. R. Evans Jr. & C. A. Lutz Sr. Post
As yesterday's defenders of freedom, we want to welcome today's military service members into our ranks to become part of our elite group.  Our common bond is the battlefield, whether it is service in the Persian Gulf, Korea, Kosovo, the war on terrorism or peace-keeping expeditionary campaigns.  Your courage and sacrifice have made a difference in preserving and defending world peace.

Every December our American Heritage Girls Troop 0003 REMEMBERS fallen veterans, HONORS their sacrifice and we TEACH the next generation during a Wreaths Across America Ceremony at Avery Stoddard Cemetery in Ledyard. Millions of volunteers world-wide participate at local and national cemeteries accomplishing the same mission at the same time. 

Our goal is to sell enough wreath sponsorships for all 295 Fallen veterans laid to rest at Avery Stoddard Cemetery. We will then lay the wreaths during a ceremony for the public on December 13, 2025. The cutoff date for wreath sponsorships is December 1, 2025. This initiative is also a fundraiser. Each wreath costs $17 and $5 of each sale will be donated back to our troop. 

Please use this link to purchase wreath sponsorships and the share via a post on social media. Wreaths Across America our troop
