HAVEN – Local Wreaths Across America volunteers are working to ensure all veterans laid to rest at both Laurel Cemetery and Haven (Priest) Cemetery are honored next December as part of National Wreaths Across America Day, Saturday, Dec. 13, 2025.
To fully cover all veterans (228) in both cemeteries, Wreaths Across America is asking for sponsorships for the wreaths.
Wreaths Across America has agreed to match 1:1 all wreath sponsorships from now through Jan. 17, 2025.
“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,” Karen Worcester, executive director of Wreaths Across America, said. “We are so grateful to the good people of this wonderful community for participating in our mission to Remember, Honor and Teach.”
In 2024, ceremonies were held across the country at more than 4,200 participating locations, placing more than three million wreaths for interred veterans. In 2025, Wreaths Across America Day will be held on Saturday, Dec. 13, 2025.
