Welcome to the Camp Nelson National Cemetery's Wreaths Across America Page.
On December 14, 2024 at 12:00 pm (Wreath Placement Immediately Following Ceremony), Wreaths Across America will be at Camp Nelson 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.
Please note, grave specific wreath placement ONLY will be available starting around 10 AM.
