DUE TO INCLIMENT WEATHER THE WREATH RETIREMENT WILL NOW BE ON
SATURDAY, JANUARY 18TH AT 8AM.
*************************************************************************************
Welcome to the Dallas - Fort Worth National Cemetery's Wreaths Across America Page.
What to Bring:
- Work Gloves – Essential for handling the wreaths.
- Broomsticks (without the broom) – Surprisingly effective for gathering multiple wreaths at a time.
- Garden Wagons (if you have one) – Great for transporting wreaths to the roadside in each section.
- Trucks and Trailers – While box trucks will be onsite, additional vehicles are always appreciated.
Procedure:
- Start in any section, ideally where you laid wreaths.
- Use broomsticks to gather wreaths and stack them near the road.
- Trucks will transport the wreaths to the containers, provided by Champion Waste and Recycling, south of the Administration building in the new pit area. Volunteers will be available to guide you.
- Please park on the right side of the road to ensure enough space for trucks to pass.
- No parking on either side of the road going from main loop up to the administration building because it will be two way traffic.
- ONE-WAY traffic will be observed throughout the cemetery for safety and efficiency.
Additional Opportunities:
RESTOCK THE LOCAL FOOD BANK!
This holiday season has been challenging for many North Texans. On January 18th, let's continue spreading kindness by bringing non-perishable food items. A collection truck will be stationed at the main entrance to receive your donations.
DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT WITH WREATH SPONSORSHIPS!
Now through January 17th, Wreaths Across America is matching every wreath sponsorship with an additional wreath. This is a fantastic opportunity to get a head start for 2025!
Thank you for your dedication and support. We're looking forward to seeing you on January 18th!
