Welcome to the Hampton Roads Chapter of American Gold Star Mothers' Wreaths Across America Page.
On December 14, 2024 at 12:00 pm, our members will be helping Hampton National Cemetery to Remember and Honor our veterans by laying Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes. This cemetery's first burials was in 1862. Many soldiers who died at Fort Monroe and other military hospitals during the Civil War were buried in this cemetery. The cemetery is at full capacity with 33,003 grave sites and it has never been fully covered with a wreath on every headstone.
Please help us honor and remember as many veterans as possible by sponsoring remembrance wreaths to cover all headstones.
Thank you so much for supporting the Hampton Roads Chapter of American Gold Star Mothers and Wreaths Across America!
