Join Wreaths Across America on National Wreaths Across America Day
December 16, 2023 at 12:00pm
Each December on National Wreaths Across America Day, our mission to Remember, Honor and Teach is carried out by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as over 3,400 additional locations in all 50 U.S. states, at sea, and abroad.
THIS YEAR'S THEME--SERVE AND SUCCEED
“There are many ways to serve your community and country, and just as many definitions of success. We hope through focusing on those stories of success we will help change the dialogue around what it means to serve your country.”
- Karen Worcester, Executive Director, Wreaths Across America #ServeAndSucceed

It is encourage that every volunteer who places a wreath on a veteran's grave to say that veteran's name aloud and take a moment to thank them for their service to our country. It's a small act that goes a long way toward keeping the memory of our veterans alive. #SayTheirNames
In the words of WAA Executive Director, Karen Worcester, "We are not here to “decorate graves." We're here to remember not their deaths, but their lives."
"Our mission at Wreaths Across America is to Remember the fallen, Honor their families and sacrifice, and Teach the next generation about the true meaning of freedom."
This is a great opportunity to TEACH your children about the sacrifices our military men and women make everyday in protecting our freedom and a great opportunity to honor the fallen. Please consider Volunteering or Donating a Wreath for this special day. Also, please help SPREAD THE WORD, it is appreciated.
