KELSEYVILLE, Calif. — The National nonprofit Wreaths Across America announced that the Kelseyville Cemetery has once again joined in the mission to “Remember, Honor, Teach,” as an official location for 2023.

Wreaths Across America, or WAA, started as a simple gesture of thanks that has grown into a national movement of dedicated volunteers and communities coming together to not only remember the nation’s fallen and honor their service, but to teach the next generation about the sacrifices made for us to live freely.

This year, there will be more than 3,100 participating locations placing Veterans’ wreaths on National Wreaths Across America Day — at 9 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 16 — with more than two million volunteers coming together.

Both Girl Scout Troops 10145 and 10490 along with Big Valley 4-H will be facilitating the brief ceremony and placing wreaths on veterans graves.

They invite the community to join them from 9 to 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 16, to remember and honor our local heroes. The ceremony is free and open to the public.

Those interested in volunteering for Wreaths Across America or sponsoring a wreath for The Kelseyville Cemetery, are invited to visit here.
