Wreaths Across Chattanooga: Honoring Our Veterans, One Wreath at a Time
Every December, thousands of volunteers gather at Chattanooga National Cemetery for a powerful tradition that ensures our nation’s heroes are never forgotten.
Wreaths Across Chattanooga is a volunteer-led nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring the men and women who served our country by placing remembrance wreaths on every veteran’s grave at the cemetery.
Each wreath laid is more than a holiday decoration — it is a personal act of gratitude from our community to those who sacrificed for our freedom.
Their Mission: Remember, Honor, Teach
