Mission statement:
The objective of the Veterans Council of St. Johns County, Florida is to be of assistance to all veterans who have served in any of the military branches of service of the United States of America.This website is designed to serve our veterans and shall act as a communications center for this Council. The Council is proud of our past successes and we look forward to many more in the months and years to come

Each year in Dec the Veterans Council sponsors the annual Wreaths Across America program at our St. Augustine National Cemetery. This is a public event with our local citizens purchasing wreaths and placing them on a headstone of their choice. This year, due to the Covid-19 virus, the National Cemetery Administration has restricted the number of people we can have in the cemetery. In keeping with their current policy, we will have 50 volunteers on Friday, 18 Dec. 2020 to unload the truck and place the wreaths directly onto each gravesite. Then on Sat. 19 Dec, we will have a small ceremony of 10 people to conduct a small ceremony and place the ceremonial wreath representing each branch of service followed by a playing of Taps. Please send out the attached press release and sponsorship form to our distribution list as well as our FB and Web Site
