The Veteran’s Remembrance Park-in Teague will join the more than 4,500 participating locations across the country to Remember, Honor and Teach on Saturday, Dec. 14, 2024.
National nonprofit, Wreaths Across America (WAA), announced September 22, 2024, that the Veteran’s Remembrance Park-Teague, Texas will be joining in the mission to Remember, Honor, Teach, as an official location for 2024. This is the first year that the Remembrance Park will participate in this national program.
Wreaths Across America started as a simple gesture of thanks that has grown into a national, yearlong 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 value of freedom.
This year, there will be more than 4,500 participating locations placing veterans’ wreaths on National Wreaths Across America Day – Saturday, Dec. 14, 2024 – with more than three million volunteers coming together.
The Veteran’s Remembrance Park-Teague will have a ceremony on December 14, 2024, at 10:00 am. Sponsored veterans’ wreaths can be placed in memory of all the local heroes that have passed. We want the individuals who served to protect the freedoms of our country never be forgotten and to bring the community together in patriotic commemoration.
“We are forever grateful for the thousands of supporters who dedicate their time, energy and resources to fulfilling our mission all year long,” said Karen Worcester, executive director, Wreaths Across America. “These individuals and their communities know the value of remembering the fallen, honoring those who currently serve and teaching the next generation about the sacrifices made for our freedom every day, and because of their continued support, Wreaths Across America continues to grow and touch new people each year.”
Those interested in volunteering for Wreaths Across America or sponsoring a wreath for the Veteran’s Remembrance Park-Teague, are invited to visit www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/TXVRPT to learn more. National Wreaths Across America Day is a free community event open to all people.
