Each December, Boston College alumni, parents, and friends gather at the Massachusetts National Cemetery to pay respects to Boston College veterans who have made the ultimate sacrifice. The BC Veterans Alumni Network (BCVAN) and the BC Cape Cod Chapter, in partnership with the Wreaths Across America program, will visit several graves and share the stories of deceased alumni, say their names, remember them by saying a prayer, and lay a wreath on their grave.

We will gather at the Massachusetts National Cemetery at 10 a.m. We will share the exact meeting location as the date gets closer. Look for the BC flag and colors upon arrival. This is a family-friendly event, and all are welcome.

Afterward, please join us for a reception at the Bog Tavern at the Brookside Club, located at 11 Brigadoone Road, in Buzzards Bay—just five miles from the Massachusetts National Cemetery. Appetizers will be served.

If you know of anyone in the Boston College community buried at Massachusetts National Cemetery, or any national cemetery, please contact bcvets@bc.edu to help us maintain our records and honor our alumni.

Parking: Guests can park along the roads of the cemetery. Traffic will be heavy that day, so please plan accordingly.

Advance registration is required. If you have any questions, please contact bcvets@bc.edu.
