 Toledo Memorial Park Hosts 12th Annual Wreaths Across America Event 

We honor the past through ceremony and education.  

Sylvania, OH—The annual Wreaths Across America program at Toledo Memorial Park (the Park) is set for Saturday, Dec. 14, 2024, at noon. The event marks the 12th annual presentation of wreaths at the Park.

The mission of Wreaths Across America is to remember the fallen; honor those who serve; and to teach the next generation the value of freedom. “As a local venue for this important event we consider and value this mission the same way we value our own at the Park,” said Jeff Clegg, president and CEO of the Park.  “We work every day to honor the legacy of first responders and veterans and this event and celebration of those who have served is a great way to end each year at the Park.” 

Visitors on Dec. 14 will experience a touching ceremony with wreath placement immediately following. This special event remembers and honors veterans by laying remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes.

Last year, the Park placed more wreaths than any venue in Ohio. Please help us honor and remember as many fallen heroes as possible by sponsoring remembrance wreaths, volunteering on Wreaths Day or inviting your family and friends to attend with you. Specific grave requests at the cemetery can be made by contacting the location coordinator, Mel Harbaugh, at 46elapid@gmail.com to help ensure wreath placement.
