Welcome to the Rochelle Chapter NSDAR's Wreaths Across America Page.

On Sunday, December 17 at 1:00 pm, the Rochelle Chapter will adopt St. Patrick's Cemetery in Rochelle to Remember and Honor our veterans by contributing Remembrance wreaths for the graves of our country's fallen heroes. An abbreviated ceremony will take place at Lawnridge after the conclusion of the wreath laying at St. Patrick's.

We will also be accepting grave specific requests at St Patrick's, Lawnridge and Trinity Cemeteries in Rochelle, Daysville Cemetery in Oregon, Woodlawn in Creston, as well as other local cemeteries. You may attend to place the wreath on a specific grave, if you wish.

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.

The deadline for placing your wreath order is November 29th!

Thank you so much for supporting the Rochelle Chapter NSDAR and Wreaths Across America!
