The Missouri Veterans Commission will host Wreaths Across America, a holiday wreath-laying event, to honor and remember our nation’s Veterans at 11 a.m. on Saturday, December 14.

The event will be held at each of the six Missouri Veterans cemeteries, including the cemetery in Higginsville.

Wreaths Across America started in 1992 when the Worcester Wreath Company began donating wreaths to be placed at the headstones in Arlington National Cemetery. To learn more about Wreaths Across America, visit wreathsacrossamerica.org/.
