Wreath Laying

Remember. Honor. Teach.

Wreath Laying Ceremony at Millersville University

Join us for a moment of honor and remembrance at the Wreath Laying Ceremony on Sunday, December 15, 2024, at 1pm. Millersville University is proud to partner with Wreaths Across America in placing a wreath at the Civil War Monument on campus to honor the sacrifices of our veterans and fallen soldiers connected to Millersville.

This brief, meaningful ceremony invites the Millersville community to come together in gratitude and reflection. All are welcome to attend as we remember those who have served and show our appreciation for their dedication and sacrifice.  This event is a joint collaboration between our friends at Wreaths Across America, Millersville University's Veterans Resource Center, ROTC, and Alumni Engagement.
