What’s more, if you decide to sponsor a wreath you can do so in the name of a loved veteran who is currently serving, or in the name of a veteran who has passed. You can even make a personal donation to an existing grave marker at a participating Veterans Cemetery location. Wreath donation costs start at $17.00.
More than 9990 wreaths were laid at the Veterans Cemetery last year. Southern Nevada Veterans Cemetery is located at 1900 Buchanan Boulevard in Boulder City.
