REMEMBER – HONOR – TEACH

Gold Country Chapter is proud to partner and actively participate in Wreaths Across America.

Wreaths Across America holds ceremonies simultaneously across the globe honoring our nation’s heroes. Gold Country Chapter is a partner in the New Auburn Cemetery ceremony where reaths are laid on veteran grave sites and a ceremony is held in remembrance.

Additionally, Gold Country Chapter participates in a smaller, but no less important, ceremony at the Old Auburn Cemetery.

What is a Veterans Wreath?

  • Each wreath is comprised of 10 balsam bouquets. One for each quality that our veterans embody: Faith, Love, Strength, Honesty, Humility, Ambitions, Optimism, Concern, Pride, and finally – Hopes and Dreams that didn’t always come true, but left them with no regrets.
  • The Red Bow, their Great Sacrifice
  • The Forest Scent, Purity and Simplicity
  • The Evergreen symbolizes Longevity & Endurance
  • The Circle Shape, ETERNITY
