Today Veterans Land Board Chairwoman and Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham, M.D. encouraged Texans to help the Rio Grande Valley State Veterans Cemetery (SVC) in Mission, Texas achieve its goal of having over 4,200 wreaths sponsored to lay at the graves of our nation's heroes.

The cemetery's Wreath Laying Ceremony is on December 14, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. Currently, the cemetery has 143 wreaths sponsored, only 3.2% of its goal. The Rio Grande Valley SVC is also seeking volunteers to help with the ceremony.
