What to Expect
We will be joining a multitude of other volunteers in honoring the memories of and paying tribute to thousands of fallen US service members buried at the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies. We will each render our respects for at least one fallen service member by saying their name, having a short moment of silence, and laying a wreath upon their grave.
From Wreaths Across America
Wreath placement immediately follows the ceremony at 12 pm. To ensure everyone has the opportunity to lay a wreath, please only take 1-2 wreaths and take the time to reflect on the veteran's sacrifices and say their name to keep their memory alive.
Parking
We are very blessed to have an outpour of community support for our event. Because of this, traffic and parking can be very challenging. We encourage you to carpool and plan to arrive early if possible as parking is limited. We will have the local police to help manage traffic again this year.
