REMEMBER the Fallen. . . HONOR those who Serve. . . TEACH our children the value of Freedom.

Welcome to the Quiet Corner Veterans Support Coalition's Wreaths Across America Page. 

On December 14, 2024 at Noon, the Quiet Corner Veterans Support Coalition will be at Holy Cross and Westfield Cemeteries to Remember and Honor our veterans by laying Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes along with our entire community. This is our second year on this amazing mission and we hope you will join us! 

On National Wreaths Across America Day last year; December 17, 2022, the Quiet Corner Veterans Support Coalition answered the call with the help of our entire community to bring Wreaths Across America to Killingly. We are thankful for the Town of Killingly, all of our emergency services departments, the Danielson Elks BPOE 1706 and the Elks Riders of BPOE 1706 along with multiple business and our very own Killingly Business Association and it's wonderful members who raised awareness, provided sponsorships and volunteers to bring our mission to our community. In less than 2 months we were able to honor 873 veterans laid to rest on this sacred ground. This year we are dedicated to ensuring every veteran laid to rest here will have a veteran’s wreath laid on their grave stones to honor their service and sacrifice. We will say their name so they are never forgotten. Please join us on this humbling and heartwarming mission.

We work with multiple youth organizations and other nonprofits who volunteered their time to assist in passing out wreaths, setting up our ceremony, breaking down boxes and welcoming guests to name just a few things that were quite helpful in making our day a success. It takes a whole community effort to bring this mission forward each and every year. We are happy to be working with all of them and more entering our third year at these locations. 

We are working to add two more small locations to our group and are excited to see the continued outpouring of love and support for our veterans here in the Quiet Corner. 

Thank you so much for supporting the QCVSC and Wreaths Across America!
