Yountville Veterans Home Cemetery
Wreath Laying Ceremonies
on December 12th at 0900

On behalf of the Rough Riders M/C and all the Veterans of the USA . The Rough Riders (www.rough-riders-mc.com) have been asked to help with an enormously important task. I am sure you have heard of Wreaths Across America, the wonderful project that strives to provide wreaths for all state and national cemeteries and veterans memorials.

The Yountville Veterans Home is the largest Veterans Home in the United States. Last year, of the 5000 + headstones at Yountville, only 13 wreaths were placed. Our goal this year is to augment the Wreaths across America project and ensure a wreath for each gravesite during the holidays. At a cost of approx. $15 per wreath, this will be an enormous feat. Please join us in whatever way you can to help, whether it is monetary donations, help at the wreath laying event, or telling others about this project would be very much appreciated by so many people.

The Rough Riders M/C is designated a Public Charity under Internal Revenue code 509(a)(2) by the IRS and is Tax Exempt under section 503(c)(3) of the code. All contributions and gifts made are Tax Exempt under sections 170, 2055, 2106, and 2522 of the code. Our EIN is 20-2739186, and our DLN is 17053047020017. Checks may be made payable to: Rough Riders M/C (Please put “Yountville Wreaths” in the memo section) And mailed to: 420 N Jackson , Suite C Dixon , Ca. 94520
