The nonprofit Wreaths Across America will be holding an event honoring veterans on Dec. 13 at Los Gatos Memorial Park cemetery.

There are about 2,800 veterans buried at the Los Gatos cemetery. Wreaths Across America holds a ceremony during the holiday season at over 4,000 cemeteries throughout the U.S. to honor deceased veterans. They place live evergreen wreaths that are donated by the public at the veterans’ gravesites. In 2024, the nonprofit distributed more than 3 million wreaths on headstones across the U.S.

To donate $17 to purchase a wreath, visit www.waalosgatos.org. Another way to support the nonprofit is to attend the ceremony; about 300 people were in attendance at last year’s Wreaths Across America in Los Gatos. For more information, visit Los Gatos Wreaths on Facebook and In
