They're seeking sponsors of wreaths from their annual "Wreaths Across America" service.
The special event is held across the country every December to pay tribute to servicemen and women.
There are 2,300 veterans buried at Oakwood, and at last count, they only had a little over 600 wreaths.
"I know it would really hurt me if I came out to this field of honor and all these veterans had wreaths, but not my parents. That's why it's important to donate these last few days. For every two wreaths purchased, we will get three to help us meet our goal," said Charlene Stell, daughter of veterans.
The cost to sponsor a wreath is $15 and the deadline is Monday. The link to purchase can be found here.
