REMEMBER the Fallen. . . HONOR those who Serve. . . TEACH our children the value of Freedom.

Welcome to the Walnut Valley Cemetery's Wreaths Across America Page. 

On December 14, 2024 (Wreath Placement No Ceremony, 11:00 AM CST Wreath Placement Only), Wreaths Across America will be at Walnut Valley 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.

Sponsoring 2 Wreaths through the American Legion Post 81 fundraiser page will give us an extra Wreath for a deserving Veteran: wreathsacrossameria.org/KS0092
