The Ozark Spring Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution is seeking community volunteers and wreath sponsorships ahead of Howell County’s fourth annual Wreaths Across America ceremony on Dec. 19. The ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. at Veterans Memorial Cemetery, 1019 E. Third St. in Mtn. View, where 195 veterans are laid to rest. Prior to the 11 a.m. ceremony, DAR members, assisted by Mtn. View Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3009 and local volunteers, will place remembrance wreaths on veterans’ graves. Each veteran’s name will be read aloud as the wreaths are laid in place. Organizers are asking for volunteers to help lay wreaths, read names and attend the memorial ceremony. The chapter is also seeking public donations to sponsor wreaths at $17 each. Donations of any amount can be combined to complete the purchase of a wreath. Sponsorships may be submitted online at wreathsacrossamerica.org/MO0237. Payment options include credit card, debit card, Google Pay or PayPal.
