Welcome to the IA0018P - Midwest Honor Flight's Wreaths Across America Page. 

On December 14, 2024 at 11:00 am (Wreath Placement Immediately Following Ceremony), IA0018P - Midwest Honor Flight will be helping South Dakota Veterans Cemetery to Remember and Honor our veterans by laying Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes.

Please help us honor and remember as many fallen heroes as possible by sponsoring remembrance wreaths, volunteering on Wreaths Day, or inviting your family and friends to attend with you.  For every wreath sponsored through Midwest Honor Flight, we will receive $5 back towards sending our Veterans out to Washington, D.C. to visit their memorials.
