Plans are being confirmed for the annual Wreaths Across America ceremony and laying of remembrance wreaths, according to Location Coordinator Diann Tucker.  She, together with assistant Mika Milburn-Kee, wish to thank everyone for their sponsorship of wreaths this year and said, “each day the goal grows closer to completion”.  Sponsorships are still needed to cover the nearly 7000 military sites that need to be honored with a wreath at Fort Scott National Cemetery.  Wreaths are $17.00 each.  To send a check, deliver a check or use a credit/debit card to sponsor, you can call Diann at 620-224-7054 or Mika at 620-223-6700.  All sponsorships for this year should be received by November 20.  The brief ceremony will begin at 10 AM on December 13, immediately followed by placement of wreaths by volunteers. Tucker said the local ceremony will be honored this year to have speaker Pat Proctor, a retired United States Army colonel.  Upon retirement from the Army he settled in Leavenworth, Kansas.  Proctor is a graduate of the School of Advanced Military Studies, was deployed to Jordan as a battalion commander, and deployed in 2009 as the operations officer for Task Force Patriot (2nd Battalion, 32nd Field Artillery) to Saddam Hussei’s hometown of Tikrit, Iraq.  In 2007, Proctor worked as part of the Joint Strategic Assessment Team, comprised of diplomats, military theorists, and intellectuals assembled by Gen. David Patraseus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker and led by Col. H. R. McMaster to develop the strategy for post-surge Iraq.  Retired Colonel Proctor currently serves as an assistant professor of Homeland Security at Wichita State University. We want to thank everyone for their current and past support of this event, and ask that you share with your friends, family, email friends, and Facebook friends, said Tucker.  We invite you, look forward to seeing you, and welcome the many volunteers, on December 13.  You are each appreciated.
