2025 So Far
Welcome to the Rock Island National Cemetery Wreaths Across America Page.
On Saturday, December 16, 2023 at 11:00 am Wreaths Across America will be at the Rock Island National Cemetery to Remember and Honor our veterans through the laying of Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes and the act of saying the name of each and every veteran aloud.
Please help our location lay wreaths at as many graves as possible. Sponsoring through a local group organization associated with the Rock Island National Cemetery, can help the local group organization with their fundraising efforts or even make your donation go farther with a 3 for 2 wreath contribution. All donations of wreaths are extremely appreciated in reaching our goal of laying a wreath on the grave of each of the 33,500 veterans buried at the Rock Island National Cemetery.
