Texas State Veterans Cemeteries: 2020 Holiday Wreath-Laying Schedule
PLEASE NOTE: Mask and social distancing guidelines will be followed in accordance with federal and state mandates.
The VLB will hold its annual holiday wreath-laying ceremonies to honor and remember our nation’s military heroes at each of our four Texas State Veterans Cemeteries (Abilene, Corpus Christi, Killeen, and Mission).
However, this year, the process will be different because of COVID. We please ask for your patience and cooperation in helping us respect social distancing guidelines. Thank you for your continued assistance in making sure our Veterans are properly honored.
