REMEMBER the Fallen. . . HONOR those who Serve. . . TEACH our children the value of Freedom.
Welcome to the CA0932 - Always Loved, Forever Missed's Wreaths Across America Page.
This holiday season, I’m proud to be a part of the Wreaths Across America Sponsorship Group at Miramar National Cemetery, where over 21,500 veterans are laid to rest — including my dad, who proudly served his country and now rests among heroes.
Wreaths Across America’s mission is simple but powerful: Remember. Honor. Teach. And it begins with a single gesture — placing a wreath on each veteran’s grave to show that they are never forgotten.
This year, my personal goal is to sponsor 500 wreaths for Miramar, and I need your help to get there.
Here’s how you can help:
- Wreaths are $17 each and are considered a taxable donation. A donation receipt will be provided for your records.
Every wreath is a symbol of remembrance — a way to say “You are not forgotten.” It would mean the world to me, and to so many families, to know our loved ones are honored in this way.
Please share this page with your family and friends and help spread the word so we can reach our goal!
Let’s make sure every hero at Miramar is remembered next December.
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 the CA0932 - Always Loved, Forever Missed and Wreaths Across America!

Directions to Cemetery
Navigation systems do an adequate job finding the offsite parking lot at 7130 Miramar Rd. This is the Northrop Grumman parking lot. When you arrive, please follow the direction of the staff for parking shuttle transportation to the cemetery
All volunteers, with the exception of those with handicap placards will park off site and take the provided shuttle to the cemetery. Please allow an additional 30 minutes for this process. Offsite parking will be at Northrup Grumman, 7130 Miramar Rd.
Parking Instructions
We have over 3,300 volunteers registered to place wreaths. This means congestion and offsite parking.
ALL volunteer parking will be offsite, unless you have a CURRENT DMV issued handicap placard. Shuttles will be available to transport you to the ceremony.
The offsite location is the Northrop Grumman parking lot at 7130 Miramar Rd. Sun Diego busses will shuttle you to the cemetery with the first shuttle leaving to the cemetery at 7:30 and the last bus leaving the cemetery at 11:30 to return to the parking lot.
If you wish to attend a smaller, less crowded event, there are 6 smaller locations participating this year in the San Diego area.
El Camino Memorial Park, Singing Hills, Alpine Cemetery, El Cajon Cemetery, Glen Abbey Memorial, Fallbrook Masonic, Valley Center, Oak Hills in Escondido, and San Marcos Cemetery.
Ceremony and Volunteer Information
We are happy that you are willing to help with our Wreath Across America ceremony at Miramar National Cemetery. Please do not forget to register to volunteer! That way you will get all updates about the event.
Here are some things to remember about the ceremony:
- Everyone of all ages and backgrounds is welcome.
- During the ceremony, listen to etiquette instructions and how to properly place a wreath.
- Follow the instructions of the section leaders among the graves.
- If you observe a child exhibiting actions not appropriate for hallowed grounds (running, yelling, throwing things) PLEASE teach them the proper behavior. Even if they aren't yours. It really does take a village.
- To properly place a wreath, respectfully approach the headstone, say the name out loud, gently and with respect lay the wreath against the stone with the bow in the 12:00 position. Fluff the bow and make sure all is in order before moving to your next area.
- We especially appreciate volunteers willing to help clean-up. Please check back on the website after Wreath Day for instructions to register for pick up, Saturday, January 9, 2027.
- See the overview or parking section for updates on parking issues.
The most important thing to remember is to have a wonderful experience participating in the ceremony and thank you so much for helping us achieve our mission to remember, honor and teach.
