There are just going to be a few changes in the execution. After actively monitoring the requirements set forth by county health officials relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, Chattanooga National Cemetery has chosen to modify plans to ensure the safety of all.
THIS YEAR THERE WILL NOT BE A PUBLIC CEREMONY.
A select volunteer staff will lay the non-specific Remembrance Wreaths.
The laying of wreaths purchased to honor a specific hero (Grave Specific Wreaths) will take place by the person identified when the wreath was purchased, at a designated time. If you have purchased a wreath for a specific hero, and indicated you wished to place the wreath yourself, you will receive an email with your designated window of time for placement. If you have not received this email by December 10, 2020, please contact gravespecific@chattanoogawaa.com.
Important Dates
Monday, November 30th: Cutoff Date for Wreath Orders
Saturday, December 19th: National Wreaths Across America Day
To ensure safety for all involved, please only arrive at the cemetery during your designated window of time.
We still need your help. Please sponsor a wreath! Due to social distancing restrictions, our ability to reach the public has severely limited our ability to obtain sponsors for wreaths and we do not have enough funds to honor even 1/4 of the 47,000+ veterans at Chattanooga National Cemetery.
