FORT JACKSON, SC (WACH) -- From Thursday into November, a national organization is trying to sell around 1,400 wreaths to decorate grave sites.

The third annual Wreaths Across America Ceremony will take place at the Fort Jackson National Cemetery on December 10, and organizers hope they'll have enough wreaths to go around.

The wreath sales start September 1 and run through November 26.  They cost $15 each and will be used to honor and remember the veterans who served the country.
