Welcome to Yakima Quilts of Valor Group 79602's Wreaths Across America Page.
On December 14, 2024 (See location pages for ceremony and wreath placement details), at 9:00 a.m. PST, we will be helping Tahoma Cemetery, Yakima, Washington, to Remember and Honor our veterans by laying Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes.
Please help us honor and remember as many fallen heroes as possible by sponsoring remembrance wreaths, volunteering on Wreaths Day, or inviting your family and friends to attend with you.
For each wreath purchased, $5 will go to our group as a fundraiser to help us make Quilts of Valor for our veterans in Yakima County. Thank you so much for supporting Yakima Quilts of Valor Group 79602 of Quilts of Valor Foundation, and Wreaths Across America!
