Wreaths Across America Project 2024
Oconee Hill Cemetery will be honoring its veterans for their service to our country this year by participating in the Wreaths Across America Project. Our volunteers will place approximately 1,100 wreaths on the gravesites of every known veteran in our cemetery on Saturday, December 14th, which is known as Wreaths Across America Day.
This is our second year sponsoring the project with leadership from the Apalachee Chapter DAR. Our success last year gave us the encouragement to continue this worthwhile community project. We need your help by sponsoring wreaths to honor your veteran family members and other forgotten veterans.
On Sunday, December 15th , we are inviting all families to visit our historic cemetery to honor our heroes, and to view a beautiful display of wreaths.
Please download the ATTACHED FORM HERE to purchase your wreaths.
Veterans Day Self Guided Tour
Oconee Hill Cemetery and the Friends of Oconee Hill Cemetery encourage all interested persons to visit the cemetery and take a self guided tour in place of the ceremony. The cemetery is home to veterans from most every war or major conflict in American history. The tour highlights many of these brave citizens who served our nation. Below, please find the tour as well as a two sided map - one side showing all locations throughout the cemetery and the other side showing those only in the historic sections. Please print these out and come visit on 11 /11 to honor our past and current veterans.
