About Wreaths Across America

"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 at more than 2,500 additional locations in all 50 U.S. states, at sea and abroad." - Wreaths Across America

The Wreaths Across America program began in 1992 when Morrill Worcester, owner of Worcester Wreath Company, found the company had too many wreaths for the holiday season. He decided to honor the soldiers at Arlington with wreaths and sent them to be placed on their gravesites. The patriotic spirit of Wreaths Across America caught on, and the program now serves the graves of soldiers across the country. Wreaths Across America programs are administered by volunteers from organizations like Laramie's Daughter of the American Revolution chapter, the VFW, and the American Legion.
