There are still not enough Christmas wreaths for the graves of every fallen service member at the Florence National Cemetery.
The Blue Star Mothers of Coastal Carolina is another group still seeking donations.
Tuesday night at midnight is the last opportunity to buy a wreath that'll be placed on graves at the Florence National Cemetery.
Right now, they have about 9,800 wreaths, but they need 15,000 to ensure each grave is adorned with a holiday wreath.
Wreaths cost $15 dollars each.
The Blue Star Mothers of Coastal Carolina are a sponsored group for the fundraiser, so for every two wreaths purchased, an additional one is added to the ranks for free.

They want is to make sure no veteran's grave is left without a wreath for Christmas.
The group said in 2018 they had more than enough wreaths, but since then they've fallen short.
