At Comal Cemetery, volunteers come together to locate and mark every veteran’s resting place in preparation for National Wreaths Across America Day. Because these cemeteries are not part of the national system and many headstones do not clearly note military service, teams use cemetery grid maps to find known veterans. One person navigates with the map while another places a purple flag at each identified grave. Purple is used because it is not a color employed by the cemeteries, which reduces confusion and helps participants find veterans when wreaths are placed. Multiple sessions are planned, with extra dates set aside in case of inclement weather or if more time is needed to finish the work. Arrival is flexible, and contributions of any length are appreciated. Students seeking volunteer or community service hours are encouraged to participate, and service-hour forms will be signed. The aim is to ensure every veteran across the cemeteries along Peace Avenue is identified, honored, and ready to receive a wreath.
