Ceremony and Volunteer Information

We are happy that you are willing to help with our Wreath Across America ceremony at Nebraska Veterans Cemetery at Grand Island. Please do not forget to register to volunteer! That way you will get all updates about the cemetery itself.

Here are some things to remember about the ceremony:

In the event of inclement weather, the ceremony will be held at United Veterans Club, 1914 W Capital, Grand Island, NE, 68803

Everyone of all ages and backgrounds is welcome.

• Please help ensure that all participants get the opportunity to place a wreath.
• Please follow the location coordinators instructions on where to place wreaths, as well as "how" they should be placed.
• The wreaths will be in the semi that is parked in the historical section of the cemetery.  Someone will hand you one or two wreaths to place on a veterans grave.
• Remember to stop on front of the grave, say the veteran's name, place the wreath on the grace, straighten the bow if necessary and thank the veteran for his/her service.
• We especially appreciate volunteers willing to help clean-up. Please check in with the location coordinator if you are interested in helping with the clean-up.  Clean up will be January 10 at 10:00.

The most important thing to remember is to have a wonderful experience participating in the ceremony and thank you so much for help Wreaths achieve our mission to remember, honor and teach.
