REMEMBER the Fallen. . . HONOR those who Serve. . . TEACH our children the value of Freedom.
Welcome to the Veterans Heritage Site Foundation, Inc. (TN0190P)'s Wreaths Across America Page.
Veterans Heritage Site Foundation, Inc. (TN0190P) will be helping four Tennessee area cemeteries to Remember and Honor our veterans by laying Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes. Our group supports Great Smoky Mountain National Park, New East Tennessee State Veterans Cemetery, Old East Tennessee State Veterans Cemetery, and Knoxville National Cemetery. To select the cemetery you would like to support, click the red "Sponsor Wreaths" button near the top of the page, select the number of wreaths, and under "Location to Support" click on the name of the cemetery to generate a drop down menu and make your selection. Please note the ceremony date and time at Great Smoky Mountain National Park will be determined at a later date. Check back for updates later in the year.
Please help us honor and remember as many fallen heroes as possible by sponsoring remembrance wreaths, volunteering on Wreaths Day, or inviting your family and friends to attend with you.
Thank you so much for supporting the Veterans Heritage Site Foundation, Inc. (TN0190P) and Wreaths Across America!
