Welcome to the Dry Creek Cemetery's Wreaths Across America Page. 

On December 14, 2024 (Wreath Placement Immediately Following Ceremony), Wreaths Across America will be at Dry Creek Cemetery to Remember and Honor our veterans through the laying of Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes and the act of saying the name of each and every veteran aloud.

There will not be a formal ceremony.  The Troy Historical Society will lay the wreaths on Saturday, 17 Dec.
