Forest Park, The Woodlands is participating in the nationwide effort to Honor Local Veteran Heroes laid to rest in the cemetery on the National Wreaths Across America Day, Saturday, December 13 at 11:00am by placing remembrance wreaths on the 450 headstones of Veterans. The park is located at 18000 Interstate 45 South in The Woodlands.
Wreaths Across America is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded to continue and expand the annual wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery begun by Maine businessperson Morrill Worcester in 1992. The organization’s yearlong mission to Remember, Honor, and Teach, is conducted in part each year by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies in December at Arlington, as well as at more than 3,700 veterans’ cemeteries and other locations in all 50 states and overseas.
The cemetery is still in need of about 200 wreaths for this year’s ceremony. Please help us ensure every Veteran receives a wreath.
