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

The Ripley County Community Foundation holds a ceremony to recognize every veteran throughout the county. Everyone is invited to attend on December 13, 2025 at 12 pm at the Ripley County Courthouse (115 N Main St, Versailles, IN 47042).

Veterans who are not interred in a cemetery or are in unmarked graves are remembered with a wreath placed on the grounds of the Ripley County Courthouse, or in a prominent spot in a local cemetery.

The Ripley County Community Foundation would like to thank the community, dedicated volunteers, generous sponsors, essential truck drivers, area officials, and members of the media for coming together in unity and supporting those who have protected our freedom. Each person has played an important part in this mission. Twice, we have been  recognized as the largest Wreaths Across America partner in the State of Indiana. Wreaths Across Ripley County is truly a community effort. 

Thank you so much for supporting Ripley County Community Foundation, Inc. and Wreaths Across America!
