Welcome to Dickson County Composite Squadron, Civil Air Patrol's Wreaths Across America Page.
On December 13, 2025 (See location pages for ceremony and wreath placement details), Our cadets will be helping to Remember and Honor our veterans by laying Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes at Middle Tennessee State Veterans Cemetery and several other cemeteries in Dickson and surrounding counties.
Please help us honor and remember as many fallen American heroes as possible by sponsoring remembrance wreaths, volunteering on Wreaths Day, or inviting your family and friends to attend with you. When you sponsor a wreath with us, you also support the leadership training, character development, and aerospace education of future American leaders through Civil Air Patrol's cadet program.
You can select a specific cemetery (or even a specific grave) for the placement of your remembrance wreaths. If the cemetery you select has met its coverage goal, please also consider choosing a location where the coverage goal has not been met so every fallen veteran can be honored and remembered.
Thank you so much for supporting Wreaths Across America and Dickson County Composite Squadron!
