Welcome to the  American Legion, Bayou Liberty Post 374's in Slidell, LA, Wreaths Across America Campaign Page. 

On Saturday, December 13, 2025, we will be helping the Southeast Louisiana Veterans Cemetery located in Slidell to Remember and Honor our veterans by laying Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes.

Please help us ensure there are wreaths for ALL of our fallen heroes laid to rest there by sponsoring remembrance wreaths, volunteering on Wreath Placement Day, and by inviting your family and friends to attend with you.

By clicking on the link provided, you will help ensure that a fallen veteran has a holiday wreath, and our post will receive $5 for each wreath sold, allowing us to continue providing programs for veterans and their families within our community.
