Deadline for wreath donations at Nashville National Cemetery approaching

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — December 2 marks the final opportunity to participate in a meaningful holiday tradition that honors fallen soldiers at Nashville National Cemetery.

Tuesday is the deadline to sponsor a wreath through Senior Veterans Inc., the nonprofit coordinating local donations for Wreaths Across America. More than 30,000 grave sites at the cemetery still need sponsored wreaths.

Each wreath costs $17 and will be placed during a public ceremony on December 13. The event is one of 3,100 ceremonies Wreaths Across America conducts annually across the country.

Those interested in donating can visit NashvilleHonor.com to sponsor a wreath before tonight's deadline.

Vandy's band of misfits turns heads with 7-1 start

This is a story I immediately went home and showed my boys - young athletes with big dreams. The Vanderbilt football team's success has stolen the spotlight - what I love about Steve Layman's story is he reveals the individual hardships it took to get there. As Clark Lea says, "we all have scuff marks." This team proves perseverance pays off!
