Texas State Veterans Cemeteries: 2021 Holiday Wreath-Laying Schedule
The Texas Veterans Land Board (VLB) is proud to announce the schedule for 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.
Each year, the VLB and volunteers from around Texas help to beautify the cemeteries and honor Veterans who have passed by adding donated wreaths at each headstone during the holiday season. Please find the tentative schedule for the four cemeteries below and keep an eye out on the VLB calendar page for possible updates.
