Wreaths Across America event to be held in Marshfield

Marshfield, WI (WFHR, WIRI)

Hillside Cemetery in Marshfield will again be an official location for Wreaths Across America in 2024. Hillside Cemetery will join in the mission to Remember, Honor, and Teach as wreaths are placed on the graves of veterans. This year’s ceremony will take place at Hillside Cemetery beginning at 10AM on Saturday, December 14th. The public is encouraged to attend and help place wreaths on the graves of veterans buried at the cemetery.

Last year they placed over 500 wreaths. The goal this year is 2,200 wreaths to be placed on the headstones of all local heroes laid to rest in Hillside Cemetery. Wreaths Across America is a national nonprofit that works to teach the next generation about the value of freedom. This year there will be more than 4,500 participating locations placing veterans’ wreaths on December 14th with the help of over three million volunteers.

“We are forever grateful for the thousands of supporters who dedicate their time, energy and resources to fulfilling our mission all year long,” said Karen Worcester, executive director, Wreaths Across America. “These individuals and their communities know the value of remembering the fallen, honoring those who currently serve and teaching the next generation about the sacrifices made for our freedom every day, and because of their continued support, Wreaths Across America continues to grow and touch new people each year.”

All Wreaths Across America Day events are, non-political/religious events, open to all people.
