When we lay wreaths on veterans' graves, we say their names.
We encourage every volunteer who places a wreath on a veteran's grave to say that veteran's name aloud
and take a moment to thank them for their service to our country.
It's a small act that goes a long way toward keeping the memory of our veterans alive.

We are not here to “decorate graves."
We're here to remember not their deaths, but their lives.
