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

Welcome to the Fort Riley Cemetery's Wreaths Across America Page. 

On December 16, 2023 at 11:00 am (Wreath Placement Immediately Following Ceremony), Wreaths Across America will be at Fort Riley 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 will be at 11:00. Wreath laying will be after the ceremony. Parking will be across from the cemetery and along Huebner Road.

If guests do not have a military ID, they will need to go to Henry Gate at the Marshall Air Field and get a visitors pass. This site will let them fill out the form ahead of time: https://home.army.mil/riley/index.php/about/visitor-info. A military ID card holder who is driving the vehicle may bring in up to 7 guests who do not have an ID. Please allow about 20 minutes for the processing of a visitors pass.

As long as road conditions are not red on Fort Riley the ceremony will proceed as planned. Check here for Fort Riley Road Conditions: https://home.army.mil/riley/index.php/about/dir-staff/DPTMS/advisories
