Wreaths Across America-Buy A Wreath (4001)

Last day to purchase a wreath through the Rough Riders is Thanksgiving Day, November 27th, 2025!

Purchase a wreath to be placed on the grave of a veteran at the Bay Pines VA Cemetery on December 13th.  100% of the funds raised here will be used to purchase wreaths that you may then place on graves. The wreaths cost $17 per wreath.  You can purchase as many wreaths as you would like. 

Plan of the Day:

08:00 - show time for volunteers with pickup trucks to help pre-position bulk wreaths along the edges of the cemetery road.

10:00 - show time for volunteers - (target time for volunteers to show up is 10AM - this may change so check back here as we finalize information). 

11:00 - wreath distribution

12:00 - ceremony

Rough Riders and family members who would like to participate may purchase wreaths via this website that will be placed on graves on  December 13th.  If you purchase a wreath through this site you and family members will have the opportunity to place that wreath on the grave of a veteran. 

Also - if you have a pickup truck and would like to volunteer to help distribute the bulk wreaths along the perimeter of the cemetery, those volunteers could show up at 8AM to help with that task.  Tune back in here in late November as we will get updated information on this volunteer task.
