Wreaths Across America
Each year, the Rocky Mountain Base participates in wreath distribution at both Ft. Logan and Arvada Cemeteries with "Wreaths Across America".
This year the event will take place on Saturday, December 13, 2025.
More details:
Breakfast at 0800. Location is McCoy's Restaurant, NW Corner I-70 & Federal, 4855 Federal Blvd, Denver, CO 80221. If you are going to join us (we have roughly 17 people, so far) you MUST let Bruce Weller (720-338-7086) know by no later than Tuesday, December 9th, so he can let the restaurant know.
Arvada Cemetery event by the Daughters of the American Revolution is at 1000. Location is 5581 Independence St, Arvada, CO 80002. We will be getting there around 0930. We have been supporting them for over fifteen years. They present a wreath for each branch of the military in a short ceremony. Our members will be presenting the wreaths.
At 1130, we are picking up the wreaths for our members who are On Eternal Patrol at Ft. Logan. We have 24 wreaths to place and the pick up location is the circle on the map below The easiest way in is use the Kenyon Avenue entrance to the cemetery. Myra has all the headstone locations set up and she will hand out them in groups. Last year Julie and I took three wreaths. If the headstones already have a wreath then just find a Navy person who does not have a wreath. Place the wreath and give a final salute. It is a honor to do this, please join us.
