Are you signed up to volunteer to lay wreaths on Wreaths Across America Day at the John Pierson Memorial Wreaths Across America evet at the Roseburg National Cemetery on Saturday, December 13, 2025?

We have important busing and parking information for you.

We have had a tremendous outpouring of support and volunteers signup for this year's event, so we have had to organize alternative parking arrangements as there will not be enough parking inside the Roseburg VA Cemetery Grounds. The ceremony and first round of wreath laying will take place at the Roseburg National Cemetery Annex inside the VA Grounds.

If you are a volunteer signed up or not, we ask that you park at one of the three designated Park and Ride locations. First Student has graciously offered to supply buses to take you to and from the Roseburg VA National Cemetery for the ceremony and wreath laying event. Please see attached map.

1 - West Harvard Shopping Center (Rifes Furniture)
2455 West Harvard Avenue, Roseburg
2 - Roseburg High School - Front Parking Lot
400 West Harvard Avenue, Roseburg
3 - Douglas County Fairgrounds - Front Parking Lot
2110 Frear Street, Roseburg

Buses will run every 20 minutes starting at 11:00 am from each location. We ask that you plan head and arrive early.

𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲:
1) We will have check points in place at the entrance to the Roseburg National Cemetery that will only allow those with a state issued handicap plaque or special participation pass to park inside the cemetery grounds.

2) Please make sure you bring a raincoat, umbrella and possibly a chair to sit on. We are not able to control what Mother Nature will bring that day. So, be prepared. There will not be a shelter available, and seating will be limited and reserved for those with medical limitations.

3) Please wear some kind of waterproof shoes or boots. The grass around the gravestones and ceremony area will be soft, muddy and possibly covered in goose excrement.

4) The wreath laying will begin shortly after the ceremony which starts at 1:00 pm. You will be given instructions at the end of the ceremony about how to get a wreath and how to place a wreath.

5) Once we lay all the wreaths at the Roseburg National Cemetery Annex (new section in VA Grounds) we will bus everyone to the older section of the Roseburg National Cemetery on Harvard Avenue to place the remaining wreaths.

If you have questions, please email Tamara Howell tamara.howell@douglascountyor.gov or

See you all on Saturday, December 13, 2025!
