The Texas Veterans Land Board (VLB) is honored to announce the 2021 schedule for its annual holiday wreath-laying ceremonies for each of its four Veterans cemeteries. During the holiday season, the VLB and its partners observe this tradition to commemorate the bravery of our nation’s military heroes and honor the many sacrifices they have made for our nation.
These ceremonies are made possible by the dedicated work of the VLB and hundreds of volunteers from around Texas who come together to beautify the cemeteries each holiday season. Wreath-laying events are scheduled at each of Veterans Cemeteries—Abilene, Corpus Christi, Killeen, and Mission.
Dates and times for the VLB wreath-laying ceremonies are as follows:
- Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery, Killeen—Saturday, November 27 at 10 a.m.
- Rio Grande Valley State Veterans Cemetery, Mission—Saturday, November 27 at 9 a.m.
- Texas State Veterans Cemetery, Abilene—Saturday, December 18 at 11 a.m.
- Coastal Bend State Veterans Cemetery, Corpus Christi—Saturday, December 18 at 11 a.m.
