The Lac Vieux Desert Trail Society, NSCAR, recently hosted a pop can collection to raise money for two patriotic projects; Wreaths Across America will receive part of the money collected to sponsor wreaths which will be placed on veteran graves at Holy Cross Cemetery in Marquette on Dec. 18. Wreaths can still be sponsored by contacting Heather Modell at 228-9517 or visiting wreathsacrossamerica.org. The society will use other monies collected to purchase virtual reality goggles which will feature a tour of the Washington D.C. monuments visited during Honor Flights. The society members would like to offer this tour in the near future to veterans who are unable to participate in the Upper  Peninsula Honor Flight.
