Chattanooga, TN – In an inspiring demonstration of community spirit and dedication to honoring veterans, the Wreaths Across America Chattanooga branch is set to launch its 2023 season on Saturday, October 21st, at 10 a.m. The event will take place at the Hixson Walmart, where supporters, volunteers, and organizers will gather to commemorate the past year’s successes and prepare for another year of giving back.
The Chattanooga branch gained national recognition last year when it was named the #1 wreath fundraising group in the United States. Their remarkable achievement was underscored by the placement of an impressive 30,746 wreaths in the Chattanooga National Cemetery. This feat not only paid tribute to the fallen heroes but also demonstrated the unwavering support of the Chattanooga community for the nation’s veterans.
Wreaths Across America is a non-profit organization known for its mission to remember, honor, and teach. Each December, wreath-laying ceremonies are held at veterans’ cemeteries across the United States, including the Chattanooga National Cemetery. The wreaths serve as a powerful symbol of respect and gratitude for the sacrifices made by military personnel and their families.
The Chattanooga community is encouraged to participate in the 2023 wreath-laying initiative. As the Wreaths Across America Chattanooga branch embarks on its 2023 season, the community’s involvement and support remain instrumental. Together, they will continue to make a difference by honoring the memory of veterans and ensuring that their sacrifices are never forgotten.
