Our goal is to do as much as we can, at all locations in 2008 - but we need help from volunteers in each local area.

Can I purchase a Remembrance Wreath for my loved one's grave?Would you like to purchase a wreath for your loved ones grave?At this time, Wreaths Across America is not able to accommodate remembrance wreaths to be shipped directly to you or others. In order to meet these requests, Worcester Wreath Company has agreed to provide mail-order wreaths available to be shipped directly to your door. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these wreaths will help Wreaths Across America in their mission to Remember; Honor; and Teach. These wreaths measure 20" in diameter and feature a hand tied red velveteen bow. Shipping starts on November 23, 2007. Click here For more information Regarding wreath placement?Prior to the wreath-laying ceremonies, cemetery administrative personnel give participants specific instructions regarding placement of wreaths. In most state/national cemeteries, participants are instructed to place wreaths only on graves bearing the Christian cross or nondenominational graves.Both the Arlington Wreath Project and Wreaths Across America profess no political or religious agenda - but rather wish to remember and honor our veterans during the holidays - a time of traditional family gatherings - and teach our children that we are able to do so, in peace, because of the many sacrifices made by our military men and women.
