Military Appreciation Month Spotlight: Wreaths Across America
Wreaths Across America (WAA) was created with the mission to remember our fallen U.S. veterans, honor those who serve, and teach children the value of freedom. WAA conducts several programs to honor our veterans, but their most prominent program occurs in December on Wreaths Across America Day.
Each year WAA travels from Maine to Arlington National Cemetery stopping along the way at schools, monuments, and veteran communities to remind people how important it is to remember, honor, and teach. Then, on Wreaths Across America Day, volunteers coordinate wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as at more than 3,700 locations across the U.S., at sea, and abroad to honor our fallen veterans during the holiday season.
