Wreaths Across America Fredericksburg
Come out and support our local veterans at the Oak Hill location for Wreaths Across America
Each year, Wreaths Across America Fredericksburg joins communities across the United States in honoring the brave men and women who served our nation. Wreaths Across America ceremonies take place at approximately 5,600 participating locations nationwide, bringing families, volunteers, veterans, community organizations, and supporters together for one important purpose: to Remember, Honor and Teach.
Here in Fredericksburg, Virginia, the annual ceremony takes place at Oak Hill Cemetery, located at 1902 Plank Road, Fredericksburg, VA. Oak Hill Cemetery is once again honored to participate in this meaningful national tradition and pay tribute to the more than 1,000 veterans laid to rest at this local cemetery.

Remembering Our Fallen Veterans
The purpose of Wreaths Across America Fredericksburg goes far beyond placing a wreath on a gravesite. Each wreath represents the life, service and sacrifice of an American veteran.
As volunteers place wreaths on the graves of those who served, we encourage everyone to take a moment to remember each veteran by name. Their service helped protect the freedoms we enjoy today, and their dedication to our country deserves to be remembered for generations to come.
With more than 1,000 veterans laid to rest at Oak Hill Cemetery, this annual ceremony provides our community with an opportunity to come together and ensure their sacrifices are never forgotten.
Remember Their Names
Every headstone represents a person with a story, a family and a commitment to serving our country. Saying a veteran’s name while placing a wreath is a simple but powerful way to preserve their memory
Honor Their Service
We honor the courage, commitment and sacrifice demonstrated by our veterans throughout their military service. The Wreaths Across America Fredericksburg ceremony gives our community the opportunity to personally show respect and gratitude.
Teach the Next Generation
One of the most important parts of Wreaths Across America is teaching younger generations about the value of service and sacrifice. Showing younger generations the importance of remembering our veterans helps ensure their stories and sacrifices continue to be honored well into the future.
