Texas State Veterans Cemeteries: 2022 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.
