HAVEN, KS — January 1, 2025— Local Wreaths Across America volunteers are working hard to ensure that all veterans laid to rest at both Laurel Cemetery and Haven (Priest) Cemetery are honored this December as part of National Wreaths Across America Day – Saturday, December 13, 2025. To fully cover all veterans (228) in both cemeteries we need sponsorships for the wreaths.
Wreaths Across America has agreed to match 1 for 1 all wreath sponsorships from now through January 17th! “Every $17 sponsorship made is a meaningful gift from a grateful American who knows what it means to serve and sacrifice for the freedoms we all enjoy,” said Karen Worcester, executive director of Wreaths Across America. “We are so grateful to the good people of this wonderful community for participating in our mission to Remember, Honor and Teach.”
Last year, ceremonies were held across the country at more than 4,200 participating locations, placing more than 3 million wreaths for interred veterans. This year Wreaths Across America Day will be held on Saturday, December 13, 2025.
The goal: to place a live, balsam fir veteran’s wreath at the headstone of every American
veteran to Remember their sacrifice, Honor their service, and Teach the next generation about the value of freedom. For more information and to sponsor wreaths please visit:
