Our Wreaths Across America Remembrance and Honor Program on December 16, 2023 at 11:00 am (Wreath Placement Immediately Following Ceremony) will be held at the Cemetery Chapel. **** Only Designated Wreaths purchased by Family and Friends for a specific veteran will be laid before the ceremony. **** Volunteers will not start laying our Veterans Remembrance Wreaths until after the conclusion of the ceremony and TAPS is sounded by the buglar. As you lay a wreath, please take a moment to say the veteran's name out loud. Whisper a prayer if you'd like or just say "Thank you" for their service and sacrifice. We are not simply decorating graves! We are remembering and honoring their LIVES! To sponsor wreaths for our location, please scroll down this page to the supporting Sponsorship Groups.
