About this event

Charity & Causes • Other

We honor our veterans and all those who served in our nation’s military as we adorn the gravesites at Fort Sheridan National Cemetery and Great Lakes Naval Base with fresh wreaths this Holiday Season. Family and friends will join community groups, civic leaders, and patriotic citizens for this solemn commemoration that is as moving as it is meaningful. The wreaths, fresh-cut and hand-made in northern Wisconsin, beautifully dress the 3900+ graves as a proper show of appreciation for their commitment to our safety, our freedom and our way of life.

GET YOUR TICKETS NOW 

Please join us on Saturday December 13 at 9am as we will honor our Veterans at Fort Sheridan National. We need your help to fund over 3900 wreaths plus assist in laying wreaths that morning. The wreaths will be staged throughout the cemetery by local civic groups.

We will also supply wreaths for Great Lakes Naval Base for their private ceremony on December 13.

Please click on Get Tickets to purchase a wreath, donate, or volunteer your time placing wreaths December 13. The ceremony will start at 9am with a color guard and bagpipes.

For anyone on the Northshore who buys 10 Fallen Hero Wreaths, we will drop off a Birch Snowman at your local home or office. Please see instructions at checkout.

Thank You,
