Welcome to the Chief Solano Chapter, NSDARs Wreaths Across America Page. 

On December 14, 2024 (Wreath Placement Immediately Following Ceremony), our Chief Solano Chapter, NSDAR (National Society Daughters of the American Revolution) will be at the Benicia Arsenal Post Cemetery to Remember and Honor our veterans by laying Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes.  We will also be at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery in Dixon.  In addition to those Solano County locations, we sponsor wreaths at the Mare Island Naval Cemetery in Vallejo. We encourage you to visit the cemeteries in Benicia and Vallejo. Both are historical landmarks. Just make sure you check on when their hours are so that you can plan your visit.

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.

Thank you so much for supporting the Chief Solano Chapter, NSDAR and Wreaths Across America!

Parking Instructions

PARKING IS SEVERELY LIMITED AT THE CEMETERY.

We ask that you carpool at the greatest extent possible and arrive no earlier than 8:30 in the morning. Our set up team will be arriving early on December 18th to get things ready…staging wreath boxes etc so we ask that if possible you park outside of the gate along the road and walk down the road/hill to the cemetery.  This will ease parking congestion. If members of your party are unable to walk that distance, we will assist with guiding you to a place to drop the person(s) off in the parking lot and ask that you then drive back up the road and park your vehicle. We will have volunteers/signs communicating when the parking lot is full. Thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation.




Ceremony and Volunteer Information

We are happy that you are willing to help with our Wreath Across America event at the Benicia Arsenal Post Cemetery.

If you are interesting in assisting please send an email to cscwreaths@gmail.com . This is a very small cemetery with a very small parking lot. We would gladly accept assistance with safely guiding folks to park along the road above the cemetery and act as "road guards" for the one-way road down to the cemetery. Thank you in advance.

Be safe all! Happy Holidays! Remember. Honor. Teach.
