Wreaths Across America

The 2024 Wreaths Across America ceremony and wreath laying will be held Saturday, December 14th, 2024 at 11:00 AM inside the Memorial Park Chapel.

The ceremony to Remember and Honor our veterans will be led by the Riverside Flight Civil Air Patrol (OK0058P) with the wreath laying to promptly follow.

Coordinated and led by Memorial Park Cemetery, Riverside Flight Civil Air Patrol (OK0058P), and local volunteers, last year we had over 600 sponsored Remembrance wreaths to place on graves of our country’s fallen heroes at Memorial Park Cemetery.

Our goal is to one day be able to place a wreath on every fallen service member’s grave at Memorial Park Cemetery with growing community support each year.

We thank you for your support to honor and remember our nation's fallen heroes. As a major partner in Wreaths Across America, CAP has adorned memorials and veterans’ graves with balsam wreaths to make sure the sacrifices of the nation’s service members are not forgotten.

Last year, members of the public sponsored the placement of more than 1.5 million wreaths at 1,400-plus cemetery or memorial sites across the U.S. and abroad.

More than 250 CAP squadrons participated in last year’s Wreaths Across America ceremonies, in which wreaths were placed at cemeteries and memorials in all 50 states, as well as 24 locations overseas.
