Important Information Regarding “Wreaths Across America” Volunteer Day

This will be the scene on December 19 at the V.A. Cemeteries at Newton and Kilmichael. On this date, Christmas wreaths are placed on the 1300+ graves at the two locations.

Normally the public is invited to place the wreaths, but due to COVID-19, only family members and staff are invited to volunteer this year.

Family and/or staff who are placing wreaths should arrive by 11 a.m. on December 19, at either location. For those interested in participating but are not family or staff, your contribution toward the purchase of wreaths would be greatly appreciated. You can mail your check to:
Friends of Mississippi Veterans, 2921 8th Street, Meridian, MS 39301.
