Honoring the past – inspiring the future
Wreaths Across America, Chattanooga is proud to be honoring our Heroes at Chattanooga National Cemetery. Our mission is to ensure every veteran is honored with a wreath each year. As there is no government funding for the honoring of our Heroes with wreaths in December, we rely on local Patriots like you to sponsor wreaths to make this mission happen. (Wreaths Across America, Chattanooga has no paid employees).
All Wreaths are provided by Wreaths Across America
For every $17 wreath sponsored through our website, $5 goes toward a wreath for an unknown. So for every 7 wreaths sponsored ($119), 9 wreaths come to the cemetery and 2 unknowns are honored! We were only able to honor about 38,000 Veterans at the Chattanooga National Cemetery with a wreath in 2025. LET’S MAKE SURE WE HONOR MORE IN 2026!
Wreaths Across America, Chattanooga DOES NOT provide wreaths to any group laying wreaths outside of Chattanooga National Cemetery. You can be assured that 100% of your donation through our website will be used to support the wreath laying effort at Chattanooga National Cemetery only.
Thank you for supporting Wreaths Across America

Wreath placement is a time to remember, honor, and teach. Wreath laying is not an adornment of graves. We do not decorate. We remember our heroes, their service, their sacrifices. We participate not to honor their deaths but to celebrate their lives.
