REMEMBER the Fallen. HONOR those who Serve. TEACH our children the value of Freedom.  Welcome to the Veteran Wreaths of Wayne County's Wreaths Across America Page. 

  • WREATH COUNT UPDATE: URGENT request!! DEADLINE FOR DONATIONS IS DECEMBER. 3RD!!
  • We are in need of wreaths for Eastern Carolina State Veterans, Evergreen Memorial, and Willow Dale Cemeteries! 
  • PIKEVILLE CEMETERY HAS MET THEIR GOAL FOR THIS YEAR.

We will be honoring our local veterans at Eastern Carolina State Veterans Cemetery, Evergreen Memorial Cemetery and Pikeville Cemetery on December 14th. See individual pages for ceremony times.

 Please consider sponsoring a wreath that will be placed at any of the 4 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/NC0474You 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! 

Follow us on Facebook at Wreaths Across America-Goldsboro or email WAAGOLDSBORO@GMAIL.COM for more information.
