Welcome to the CA0864P - Greater Bakersfield Republican Assembly Wreaths Across America Page.
On Saturday, December 14th at 09:00 am, please join us for a brief ceremonial program at the upper assembly area at the Bakersfield National Cemetery. After the program, around 09:45 am , the public will assist Wreaths Across America in Remembering and Honoring our veterans by laying Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes and the act of saying the name of each veteran aloud.
Please help us honor and remember as many fallen heroes as possible at the Bakersfield National Cemetery by clicking the red "Sponsor" button located on this page. Or, if you would like to volunteer to participate in the wreath laying ceremony, click on the "Volunteer" button located on this page.

If you sponsored a 'Grave Specific' wreath and you will be placing the wreath at your loved one's grave, we're asking you do do this between 07:30 am - 08:45 am, on December 14th. There will be a 'Grave Specific' informational table near the cemetery Administration Office.
