Fort Jackson National Cemetery — Wreaths Across America
Join us on December 19th, 2026 at 12:00 PM for our 18th Annual Wreaths Across America Ceremony at Fort Jackson National Cemetery. Help us Remember and Honor our Veterans by sponsoring a wreath and placing it on the grave of a fallen hero — and saying their name aloud. As the saying goes, a Veteran Dies Twice — first when they draw their last breath, and again when their name is spoken for the last time. Come help us keep their memory alive. All are welcome, and no volunteer commitment is required to attend or participate in wreath placement.
If you would like to volunteer to assist with setup or other areas the morning of the ceremony, please email us at Volunteers.waaft.jackson@gmail.com and we will provide you with more details. For all other inquiries, please reach out to us at waaftjackson@gmail.com. Be sure to follow us on Facebook at Wreaths Across America – Fort Jackson National Cemetery, Columbia, SC, and check back regularly for updates. Thank you for your support in honoring those who served!
