- WREATH COUNT UPDATE: URGENT request!! DEADLINE FOR DONATIONS IS NOVEMBER 28TH!!
- We are in dire need of wreaths for Eastern Carolina State Veterans and Evergreen Memorial Cemeteries! We are in real danger of not having enough sponsored wreaths to honor every veteran laid to rest there!
- The wreath goal for Pikeville Cemetery has been met!
We will be honoring our local veterans at Eastern Carolina State Veterans Cemetery, Evergreen Memorial Cemetery and Pikeville Cemetery on December 14/15, 2024 (See location pages for ceremony and wreath placement details). To help us reach our goal of 2400 wreaths for these events, please consider sponsoring a wreath that will be placed at any of the 3 participating Wayne County locations. All wreaths will be sent to each location for placement on that day. Each wreath is $17. The location will get a free wreath for every 2 purchased, but ONLY if you go to wreathsacrossamerica.org/NC0474. You will not see the extra wreaths on your receipt, as this is credited to us at the time the wreaths are shipped.
Join us for a Wreath Day Ceremony, where you can be part of a Wayne County tradition, since 2013, to remember our local fallen heroes with a Remembrance Wreath!

We are happy that you are willing to help with our Wreath Across America Day ceremony at Eastern Carolina State Veterans Cemetery. Wreath sponsorships are vital to the success of this event as all are purchased by private donations from people like you!!! It is truly heart-breaking to see a veteran without a wreath to honor them due to the lack of funds, so please spread the word and donate today at www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/0474
Thank you for your interest to honor our local veterans!
