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

Welcome to the Washington National Guard State Historical Society's (WNGSHS) Wreaths Across America Page.

This is our 3rd year partnering with Wreaths Across America. In addition to Tahoma National Cemetery, Kent, WA (WATNCK), the WNGSHS is supporting 10 other cemeteries across Washington State. That is a lot of ground to cover, but our Guardsmen and supporters reach from one corner of this proud state to the other.  With your help, we will support as many sites as possible.

Thousands of veterans served with honor and now rest with honor across Washington State. Please help us honor and remember them by sponsoring remembrance wreaths or inviting your family and friends to attend with you the activities on December 14, 2024 (Wreath Placement Immediately Following Ceremony).

To get started, click the SPONSOR WREATHS button. You will be presented several options including selecting a cemetery. If your preferred cemetery isn't listed, CONTACT US and we'll add it. Some cemeteries have the ability to sponsor a specific grave site. You can even have a wreath sent to honor a living veteran. All orders must be completed by December 3, 2020. We also have forms that can be completed at the Washington National Guard Museum, Building 2, Camp Murray.

Last year, your generosity allowed us to support 58 grave sites. This year, let's try to support over 100.

Please share this site with others and share through your favorite social media site.

Thank you so much for supporting the Washington National Guard State Historical Society and Wreaths Across America!
