Ben Harrison Camp No. 356, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War - Department of Indiana | Indianapolis, Indiana

Wreaths Across America Ceremony-Williams Creek Cemetery
2022-12-17 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) | IL
The Ben Harrison Camp, along with the 27th Indiana, Sons of Veterans Reserve, will be attending the Wreaths Across American wreath laying ceremony, to take place on December 17, 2022, at 11:00AM EST, at the Williams Creek Cemetery. The Williams Creek Cemetery is located at 845 W 96th St, Indianapolis, IN 46260. I would encourage as many members to attend as possible. The 27th SVR will be firing 3 volleys at the end of the ceremony. The Wreaths Across America will be at Williams Creek Cemetery to Remember and Honor our veterans through the laying of Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country’s fallen heroes and the act of saying the name of each and every veteran aloud. If you plan on attending, it would be a good idea to arrive a little early as parking might be an issue.
Note: For the past several years the camp has participated in the Wreath Across America ceremony at Crown Hill National Cemetery, but the camp has been personally invited to participate in the Wreaths Across America ceremony at the Williams Creek Cemetery. Both ceremonies are worthy events, but the since the camp has been working at the Williams Creek Cemetery in cleaning, resetting, and installing new veteran gravestones over the last several years, we decided to be participate at the Williams Creek Cemetery ceremony instead.
