HONOR AMERICA'S FALLEN HEROES AND LIVE UP TO THEIR LEGACY THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON

December 18, 2021 is National Wreaths Across America Day... you can help ensure that a Christmas remembrance wreath is placed at each fallen veteran's gravesite on December 18th at Arlington National Cemetery and at over 2,750 military gravesites around the country, at sea and abroad. You can help by sponsoring a veteran's wreath at a cemetery near you, by volunteering or by donating to a local fundraising group.

Video: What Is Wreaths Across America
This amazing organization, had its start 29 years ago with a trailer-load of wreaths, decorated by volunteers and laid at the graves of fallen soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. In 2020, approximately 1.7 million veterans’ wreaths were placed by volunteers on headstones at 2,557 at participating cemeteries around the country in honor of the service and sacrifices made for our freedoms, with each name said out loud. In 2020, at Arlington National Cemetery alone, and in spite of rain and cold, thousands of volunteers placed 250,000 wreaths.
