If you or a family you know is in need of a Thanksgiving meal, please help share this message.
As we pause this week to celebrate Thanksgiving, one of the many things we have to be thankful for is the sacrifice of the American Veteran. Please consider helping the Wood County Marine Corps League place a wreath at each veteran’s grave in Roselawn Cemetery this Christmas.
