Join OCC and the Friends of the Old City Cemetery for the 2025 Wreaths Across America ceremony — a powerful and heartfelt tradition to Remember, Honor, and Teach. Together, we will lay sponsored balsam wreaths on the graves of our nation’s fallen heroes.
📍 Event Location: Old City Cemetery, 401 Taylor Street, Lynchburg, VA 24501
📅 Date: Saturday, December 13, 2025
🎖️ Admission: Free and open to the public
The Old City Cemetery is the final resting place for approximately 2,475 veterans, with graves dating from the Revolutionary War through the Iran Conflict — a remarkable and sacred piece of American history right here in Lynchburg.
We need your help to reach our goal of honoring every veteran laid to rest. Each wreath sponsorship is just $17, and you can make an even greater impact by encouraging your group, school, church, or organization to sponsor multiple wreaths.
Would your group like to take it one step further? Consider creating a friendly competition to see who can sponsor the most wreaths — a fun and meaningful way to engage your team while supporting a vital cause.
💚 Each wreath not only honors a veteran with a live balsam tribute but also supports Wreaths Across America’s mission year-round.
Please join us for this patriotic day of remembrance featuring local veterans, community leaders, scouts, and families as we honor those who served with dignity and gratitude.
Let’s come together to ensure no hero is forgotten.
