Welcome to the USS Hannah Chapter, NSDARs Wreaths Across America Page.
On Saturday, December 13, 2025 (See location pages for ceremony and wreath placement details) we invite you to join as we gather at Alva Cemetery located on Cemetery Road, off River Road, Rt 78, in Alva, FL. We will be there to Remember and Honor our veterans by laying Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes. We dedicate the day to especially honor our 144 local 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. Wreaths Across America national Day takes place in over 3700 cemeteries in the US and across the globe honoring American service members for their service to our country. Many lost their lives to keep us free! Let's remember them everyday, but especially on December 13, 2025 (See location pages for ceremony and wreath placement details).
