High Desert Grange Participation in Wreaths Across America

Author: File photo

High Desert Grange is a sponsor of Wreaths Across America in Lovelock this year for the first time. As a sponsor, the Grange helps sell wreaths and coordinates with other partners in laying wreaths on the graves of the approximately 325 veterans in the Big Meadow, Lone Mountain, and Native American cemeteries. High Desert Grange collaborates with other partners to lay wreaths in the Churchill County Cemetery as well.

Additionally, High Desert Grange assists the Nevada Veterans Coalition, a group of veterans and non-veterans that supports the Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Fernley, in recycling the wreaths laid at that cemetery. Silver Sage Grange in Winnemucca will participate for the first time this year in Wreaths Across America by laying wreaths on the graves of the approximately 200 veterans in the Winnemucca Cemetery. For more information on our area Wreaths Across America programs, please contact the High Desert Grange at [email protected] or (775) 427-8210.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
