2026 So Far
REMEMBER the Fallen. . . HONOR those who Serve. . . TEACH our children the value of Freedom.
Welcome to the Mount Peace Cemetery Wreaths Across America Page.
On December 13th, Wreaths Across America will be at Mount Peace 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.
This year is extra special because Mount Peace Cemetery is also celebrating its 125th anniversary. Mount Peace Cemetery was established in 1900 at a time when African Americans were barred from white-only cemeteries. It became a necessary and dignified final resting place for the local Black community, including a significant number of veterans who served in segregated units across multiple conflicts, from the Civil War to the Vietnam War.
