National Wreaths Across America Day is held every year on a Saturday in December at more than 5,200 participating locations in all 50 states, at sea and abroad. It is a day to “REMEMBER the fallen, HONOR those who serve and TEACH the next generation the value of freedom”.
On this day, wreaths will be placed on the graves of fallen service members. Each wreath is a moment of reflection, a symbol of honor, and a promise that we will never forget. But it is not just about the wreaths. This is the moment when the names of the fallen are spoken aloud, their lives remembered, and their service acknowledged. A time to carry their stories forward because it is our sacred duty to ensure their legacy endures. Read more about this special day HERE. Watch a video of wreaths being placed at Arlington National Cemetery HERE.
