Wreaths Across America

On December 19, 2026 at 08:00 am (EST), we'll gather at all the National Cemeteries for National Wreaths Across America Day.

Will you be there—and help us ensure every veteran's grave is honored with a wreath?

What is National Wreaths Across America Day?

Every December, National Wreaths Across America Day brings our mission—Remember, Honor, and Teach—to life. Volunteers coordinate wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery and more than 6,000 locations across all 50 states, at sea, and abroad, honoring the service and sacrifice of our nation's veterans.

How Can You Participate?

Every wreath is made possible by the generosity of our community. Our goal is to place a wreath on every veteran's grave nationwide, especially at our local cemetery. You can help by sponsoring a wreath to honor one or more veterans.

Visit us at our “Sponsor Page” Page Infolink and click the Red Sponsor button to sponsor a wreath today—and be part of this meaningful tradition.

Your support keeps this tradition alive. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Peggy DeVivo
