The Honor Squad would not exist without a need to help serve fallen veteran’s and their families at Dayton National Cemetery in Dayton, Ohio. Below you will find a small description of where we serve and who helps sustain our group.

Dayton National Cemetery

The Dayton National Cemetery was established in 1867 as the final resting place for soldier’s who passed away while living at the Central Branch National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. The cemetery was created out of the 80 acres north of the Central Branch.

At first, burials were limited to those soldiers who died while receiving care at the Central Branch. The first interment was Corporal Cornelius Solly, who fought in the Civil War. Eventually, the Central Branch would evolve into a Veterans Affairs Medical Center and the interments at the cemetery grew to include all military veterans.

Today, the Dayton National Cemetery has over 60,000 interments and has a veteran from every major conflict in American history, starting with the Revolutionary War. Currently, five Medal of Honor recipients call the cemetery their final resting place.

Wreaths Across America

REMEMBER the Fallen…
HONOR those who Serve…
TEACH our children the value of FREEDOM.

Please help us honor and remember as many fallen heroes as possible by sponsoring remembrance wreaths. These may be purchased all year long. You can also volunteer on Wreaths Day by helping to place them on graves in December or clean them up in January. You can invite friends, family, and even your company staff members to attend with you. It’s a very humbling experience to witness and participate in.
