CLARKSVILLE, TN – The City of Clarksville is hosting a wreath-laying ceremony for service members resting at the historic Riverview Cemetery on Saturday, Dec. 19, at 9 a.m., to remember and honor their legacy of service during National Wreaths Across America Day.
National Wreaths Across America Day is held simultaneously across the country and oversees in more than 4500 cemeteries. The local community, veterans, active-duty military, and their families are encouraged to attend this free event.
This is the Riverview Cemetery’s seventh year participating in Wreaths Across America. Over 260 wreaths are still needed for the event to ensure that all of our veterans’ graves receive a wreath.
To sponsor a wreath to be laid on a veteran’s grave at the historic Riverview Cemetery or volunteer for this year’s ceremony, go to www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/TN0273 or click here.
Wreaths are $17 each; however, by using this link, a $5 credit is given to go towards additional wreaths that may be needed.
The deadline to purchase wreaths for this year’s event is Dec. 1.
