Farm 2 Veteran, a Will County based nonprofit and grant recipient of the Community Foundation of Will County, proudly sponsored the Wreaths Across America volunteer luncheon honoring those who served at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery. The luncheon was held at Stone City VFW Post 2199 and recognized the dedication of volunteers who braved cold winter conditions to ensure fallen heroes are remembered and honored.
