Welcome to the Miramar National Cemetery 's Wreaths Across America Page.
On December 17, 2022, Wreaths Across America will be at Miramar National 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.
Ceremony Details: We invite you to join us virtually for a remembrance ceremony this year! Details about how to view the virtual ceremony will be shared on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/waaCAMRNC/
We are hopeful that we will be able to hold an in-person ceremony in 2023 and appreciate your patience this year as we improvise to accommodate for limited parking in the construction areas around the cemetery.
