Welcome to the Keokuk National Cemetery's Wreaths Across America Page. 

As soon as the wreaths are delivered, Wreaths Across America along with numerous volunteers will be at the Keokuk National 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.
