Honor the veterans in your life by speaking their names publicly.
"Say Their Names 2025!" is a two-day event that honors veterans who have served by publicly saying their names and branch of service. Speaking publicly as American citizens from Glover Park on Marietta Square, volunteers will read the names of thousands of veterans from Marietta National Cemetery and others past and present. There are over 10,000 Civil War veterans there who never went home. Many of those names have not been spoken publicly in over a century. To sponsor or donate, go to Donate below or above.
