REMEMBER the Fallen. . . HONOR those who Serve. . . TEACH our children the value of Freedom.

Welcome to the Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery's Wreaths Across America Page. 

On Saturday, December 14th, 2024, Wreaths Across America will be at Ohio Western Reserve 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, all grave specific requests must be ordered by November 28th to ensure the wreath is delivered to the cemetery in December for placement on Wreaths Across America Day. Grave-specific wreath placement will be available prior to the start of the ceremony starting around 9 AM. Parking shuttles will begin at 7:45am.

All Grave Specific purchases that are being laid BY THE FAMILY must be picked up WITH A RECEIPT (electronically or printed). 

For changes to this year's event, please check out a video: https://youtu.be/mLQ91m33jP4
