At Comal Cemetery, volunteers come together to locate and mark every veteran’s resting place in preparation for National Wreaths Across America Day.

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.
