Tim Reid
Executive Director
This year the Texas Panhandle War Memorial, together with Wreaths Across America, is sponsoring a wreath ceremony at the Texas Panhandle War Memorial Center on Saturday, December 14, 2024 at 10:00 am. The ceremony will honor and remember our Veterans from each of the service branches who have passed from this life.
The ceremony will take 15 to 20 minutes. This will give time to travel to either Llano Cemetery or Memorial Park Cemetery to participate in laying wreaths on Veterans graves. Both will start wreath laying at 11:00 am.
The ceremony is being planned to be outside, weather permitting. If the weather is too severe then we will move inside the Education Center.
Thank you for supporting the Texas Panhandle War Memorial Center and Wreaths Across America and helping us to fulfill our missions to Remember, Honor, and Teach.
