 On December 12th, in 1200 cemeteries around the world, people will be laying approximately 750,000 wreaths at the graves of veterans in remembrance of their service and sacrifice to our country. This tradition is sponsored by wreaths across America. Their mission is to remember America's fallen heroes, honor those who have served, and teach about the sacrifices made by veterans and their families to preserve our freedoms. This massive project started as 5,000 leftover Christmas wreaths that a main manufacturer shipped to Arlington National Cemetery as a holiday tribute to veterans in 1992. It has now grown to a worldwide effort. If you would like to get involved with the organization and help honor those who have served, visit the Wreaths Across America website.
