Description

Come to Old City Cemetery for the 12th Anniversary Wreaths Across America ceremony on Saturday, December 14, at 12:00 noon.

This event is free and open to the public. Please arrive early as parking within the Cemetery is very limited and the Cemetery gates close at 11:45 a.m.

This moving ceremony honors those who have served and sacrificed their lives to keep our nation free. Attendees will be invited to participate by placing fresh evergreen wreaths on the graves of the fallen. On National Wreaths Across America Day each December, volunteers place wreaths on individual veterans’ graves in over 1,200 locations throughout the U.S., with ceremonies at sea, and at each of the national cemeteries on foreign soil. 

The wreaths will remain on the graves through the holiday season.
