Wreaths Across America Day

December 19, 2020 @ 11:00 am - 5:00 pm

The National Wreaths Across America Day is Saturday, December 19th, and a special program is planned for 11am at the Vincennes City Cemeteries on Willow Street.

Each December on the National Wreaths Day, the mission to “Remember, Honor, and Teach”, is carried out by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies at over 1200 cemeteries  across the United States, including Arlington National in Washington D.C.  The local ceremony will take place near the cemetery office building.  A short 15 to 20 minute program will precede the placing of wreaths by volunteers at the graves of veterans buried in Vincennes.  The program is open to the public.

Wreaths Across America in Vincennes is a joint effort by the Vincennes Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs.   Volunteers are also being sought to help distribute wreaths to the gravesites of veterans.  Volunteers can simply show up at the December 19th program at 11am.  This is the 4th year for the local Wreaths Across America program in Vincennes.
