About

Remember * Honor * Teach

Mission

Our mission, Remember, Honor, Teach, is carried out in part by coordinating wreath laying ceremonies a specified Saturday in December at Arlington, as well as veterans’ cemeteries and other locations in all 50 states and beyond. We also organize a week of events including international veteran’s tributes, ceremonies at State Houses and a week-long “Veteran’s Parade” between Maine and Virginia where we stop along the way to spread our message about the importance of remembering our fallen heroes, honoring those who serve, and teaching our children about the sacrifices made by veterans and their families to preserve our freedoms.

This week of events is made possible by thousands of volunteers who organize local ceremonies, raise funds to sponsor wreaths, and participate in the events. The cost of our programs is paid by individual wreaths sponsors, corporate donors and volunteer professional truck drivers.

We also coordinate veteran services and recognition through a variety of programs, and provide schools with teaching aides for projects throughout the year.

I played ball in the open section when I was a child. It's filled up now basically. My father was buried there in 1977. It's one of the most beautiful & well kept cemeteries I've ever seen. Wasn't always that way. A real history of our country from the civil war on. A remembrance of fallen patriots, some unknown. I believe some of the Confederate tombstones have been altered. Shame

Supposed to be open from sunrise to sunset. Nowhere close to sunset and it's closed. Just needed to see my grandad day today.

Both of my parents, friends of my parents & other family members are buried in this cemetery. Services are wonderful, staff is exceptional and helpful. I highly recommend anyone who can have a loved one buried here....do it. It is always clean, full of staff members working on the grounds......and a landmark for Memphis.
