🎄 The Wreaths Have Arrived! 🇺🇸
Today was a beautiful sight here at Oak Ridge Memorial Park as the truck rolled in and delivered this year’s Wreaths Across America shipment. Each box holds a wreath that represents honor, remembrance, and gratitude for the men and women who faithfully served our country.

Their mission says it best:

Remember the fallen.
Honor those who serve.
Teach the next generation the value of freedom.

And as Executive Director Karen Worcester reminds us:
“A person dies twice… the first time when life leaves their body, and the second time when their name is spoken for the last time.”

This Saturday, as we place each wreath, we will proudly say their names out loud.

To every volunteer, donor, and supporter—thank you. You are the heartbeat of this mission, and none of this would be possible without your love and dedication.

We can’t wait to join together this weekend to honor our heroes. ❤️🤍💙

Ceremony begins at 9 AM at the flagpole.

🍂 Happy Thanksgiving from Oak Ridge Memorial Park 🍂

Today we pause with grateful hearts and reflect on the blessings that surround us.
We are especially thankful for the precious lives entrusted to our care and for the families who allow us to walk beside them during sacred moments of remembrance.

As Psalm 107:1 reminds us:
“Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever!”

May your day be filled with peace, gratitude, and the hope that love lives on — here and in Heaven.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

🇺🇸🎄 We Met Our Goal: 310 Wreaths Sponsored!

This community has once again shown what it truly means to remember, honor, and teach.

We are proud to announce that the goal of sponsoring 310 wreaths for our veterans at Oak Ridge Memorial Park has officially been met. Together, our community has contributed a total of $5,270 toward this year’s Wreaths Across America program — ensuring that every veteran laid to rest at Oak Ridge will receive a wreath this Christmas season.

These wreaths are more than decorations.
They are reminders.

🔹 Reminders that freedom has a price.
🔹 Reminders that some sacrifices are made quietly and without recognition.
🔹 Reminders that a grateful community promises to never forget those who served.

Each wreath placed is a symbol of thanks — a way to speak the names of our heroes, honor their service, and show their families that their loved ones are remembered today and always.

We want to sincerely thank every individual, family, business, organization, and volunteer who donated and helped us reach this milestone. Your generosity reflects the heart of our community and the respect we have for those who served our nation.

This year, as we stand together at each gravesite on National Wreaths Across America Day, we will do so with gratitude for the past, honor in the present, and a commitment to teach the next generation what service and sacrifice truly mean.

Thank you for helping us make sure no hero is forgotten.
