Wreaths Across America, Rockwall, Texas

04/02/2026

To say I was surprised is an understatement. Thank you to the Terry Fisher American Legion Post 117 for presenting me with the Great American Award. More importantly, I appreciate the spotlight this puts on Wreaths Across America in Rockwall. Rest Haven Funeral Home and Memorial Park, thank you for saying yes. Lakeshore Composite Civil Air Patrol & AGMC TX28A, thank you for being our longest serving fundraisers. To the entire Rockwall community, I am so humbled and thankful for your continued support to honor our veterans in this way each year, giving honor where honor is due. As long as we’re say their names, they are not forgotten.

Rockwall's American Legion presented the Great American Award to Mary Kay Starnes and named Boys & Girls State Delegates.

I hope you were able to join us today to remember the fallen, honor those who serve, and teach the next generation the cost and value of our freedom. My sincerest thanks to Rest Haven for allowing us to be a participating location. Lesli, Katy, and all the staff at Rest Haven are amazing and so supportive. Thank you, Lisa, for preparing the ceremonial wreaths again this year. AGMC TX28A has been with us since the beginning and it was my honor to present them with customized patches celebrating our 10th year to remember and honor our veterans in Rockwall. Please share your pictures in the comments and I hope to see you in 2026!

My favorite things about honoring our veterans through Wreaths Across America are the people I meet and the stories they share. These are not just stories, they are lives that are now woven into the fabric of our history. Thank you to those that have shared your loved one’s life and legacy. If you haven’t shared yours with me, I’d love to hear it. Feel free to find me Saturday or message me. ~ Mary Kay
