Event overview

It's time to team up with Team Red White & Blue for the annual wreath placement at Western Reserve National Cemetery! "We encourage every volunteer who places a wreath on a veteran's grave to say that veteran's name aloud and take a moment to thank them for their service to our country. It's a small act that goes a long way toward keeping the memory of our veterans alive. We are not here to “decorate graves." We're here to remember not their deaths, but their lives." —Karen Worcester, Executive Director of Wreaths Across America Join us as we meet to place wreaths for the holiday season and honor our fallen heroes. Notes from Team RWB: Upon arrival, please head towards the main, large flagpole. As you enter the cemetery, the entrance is lined with flags. You will pass a small building on your left, before it opens up to a grassy area. The large flagpole will be just beyond this grassy area - towards the left hand side of the cemetery. There will be chairs set up in a patio like area. We will gather there before heading off to our designated area. It is recommended that you arrive sooner than later, as parking can be tricky, depending on the number that attend.
