About Wreaths Across America
Wreaths Across America is a national nonprofit devoted to a simple, enduring mission: Remember the Fallen, Honor Those Who Serve, and Teach the Next Generation the Value of Freedom. Through community ceremonies and year-round outreach, the organization engages volunteers, donors, and educators to ensure the stories of service and sacrifice are never forgotten.
National Day of Remembrance
Each December, communities across all 50 states—and abroad—unite on National Wreaths Across America Day to lay veterans' wreaths and speak every hero’s name aloud as an act of gratitude and remembrance.
What They Do
- Place Wreaths: Volunteers gather at participating cemeteries to honor veterans by placing wreaths and sharing their names and stories.
- Teach: Educational resources and programs help students and families learn about service, sacrifice, and citizenship.
- Inspire: Year-round engagement, local partnerships, and volunteer leadership sustain a living culture of remembrance.
How to Get Involved
Individuals, families, businesses, and groups can sponsor wreaths, volunteer at local ceremonies, form sponsorship groups, or participate in educational initiatives that reinforce the organization’s mission in their own communities.
