Wreaths for Uncle was founded in 2022 by Evey Morgan in honor of her uncle, LTC. Michael Fields, who passed away in May of 2022 after battling stage four cancer for four years. Primarily a Wreaths Across America group, Wreaths for Uncle also aims to serve the community through various other outreach programs.

Wreaths For Uncle will be helping Selma Memorial Gardens to Remember and Honor our veterans by laying Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country’s fallen heroes on December 14, 2024. We are also branching out into other community services, veteran fundraisers, and more!

Please help us honor and remember as many fallen heroes as possible by sponsoring remembrance wreaths, volunteering on Wreath Day, or inviting your family and friends to attend with you.

Please visit Wreaths for Uncle to support the event and for more information!

Thank you so much for helping support Evey Morgan in her initiative to continue Wreaths For Uncle and being a part of the national Wreaths Across America event!
