Wreaths Clean-Up at Greenwood Cemetery

Next date: Saturday, January 11, 2025 | 07:00 AM to 09:00 AM

The "Wreaths Across America" event honors veterans by placing wreaths on graves at cemeteries across the country. It culminates with a respectful removal process. Though quieter and less publicized than the wreath-laying ceremony, this step holds its own significance. It involves volunteers, community members, and families gathering at the cemeteries after the holiday season to remove the wreaths carefully.

The removal will be done on Saturday, January 11, 2025 with care to maintain respect for the veteran's resting place. Wreaths are carefully collected. The act of removing the wreaths symbolizes the transition from one phase of Christmas remembrance to the next while ensuring that the gravesites are kept neat and well-maintained.

The event highlights the collective effort to honor fallen heroes during the holiday season and the ongoing commitment to remembering them throughout the year. It is a meaningful way to conclude the holiday tribute, reinforcing a sense of respect and reverence for those who have served.
