VETERANS DAY 2019
The Veterans Council of St. Johns County Inc.
Each year in Dec the Veterans Council sponsors the annual Wreaths Across America program at our St. Augustine National Cemetery. This is a public event
with our local citizens purchasing wreaths and placing them on a headstone of their choice.
This year, due to the Covid-19 virus, the National Cemetery Administration has restricted the number of people we can have in the cemetery.
In keeping with their current policy, we will have 50 volunteers on Friday, 18 Dec. 2020 to unload the truck and place the wreaths directly onto each gravesite.
Then on Sat. 19 Dec, we will have a small ceremony of 10 people to conduct a small ceremony and place the ceremonial wreath representing each branch of
service followed by a playing of Taps.
Please send out the attached press release and sponsorship form to our distribution list as well as our FB and Web Site.
Thanks,
William Dudley
Chairman, Veterans Council of St. Johns County
St. Johns Veterans Council receives County Commissioners Proclamation
On Nov. 3, the Veterans Council of St. Johns County met with the Board of County
Commissioners to receive a proclamation from the Commissioners honoring our Veterans. As we
have done every year in the past, we presented the BCC with gifts. This year, we presented each
of the Commissioners and Administration with a copy of LTC Greg Moore's book, “Sacred Ground:
The Military Cemetery at St. Augustine,” that he wrote before his passing. Alison Simpson,
Command Historian, Florida National Guard, wrote an inscription in the front cover “In
remembrance of the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II, and in honor of our nation's
veterans, please accept this book on behalf of LTC (Retired) Gregory A. Moore, deceased, as a
token of appreciation for your service to this community and as a source for inspiration to learn
more about our great country and the men and women who made it so.”
LTC Greg Moore’s widow Nancy Moore was in attendance for the presentation.
