Hello! And welcome to the Pops' Wreaths for Veterans Wreaths Across America Page.
My name is Jennifer and along with my mom, Diana, and siblings, Didi, Jeremiah and Deandra, have created this group on behalf of my father, Jose C. Hernandez. My dad proudly served as a Corporal in the United States Marine Corps and was laid to rest on these beautiful grounds a little over a year ago in July. While my family and I know that my dad continues to live alongside us in everything we do, these hallowed grounds serve as an extension of his existence and pride that he had of being a U.S. Marine. We are proud to continue to honor him, his life and that of all veterans whose willingness to serve in every capacity. They are why we continually are able to reap the benefits of their sacrifices.
On December 14, 2024 at 9:00 am, the Rio Grande Valley State Veterans Cemetery welcome you to join them in ceremony to Remember and Honor our veterans this holiday season. Immediately after the conclusion of the ceremony, we work together to lay Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes and say the name of each and every veteran aloud as their wreath is placed.
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.
Thank you so much for supporting our military every day. Thank you too, for supporting our family, Pops' Wreaths for Veterans and Wreaths Across America!!
