2013 Wreaths Across America Ceremonies
This is the eighth year of
Wreaths Across America, a
nationwide program which distributes holiday wreaths as a tribute to
Veterans laid to rest at VA national cemeteries and state Veterans
cemeteries. It is also the 22nd year that the Worcester Wreath Company
of Harrington, Maine, will send holiday wreaths to Arlington National
Cemetery. Through this program, company president Morrill Worcester
seeks to recognize Veterans, active duty military and their families.
His goal is to remind the public to remember the Veterans, honor their
service, and teach children the value of freedom.
The Civil Air Patrol organizes the wreath-laying ceremonies with
assistance from local citizens and Veterans service organizations. All
131 VA national cemeteries receive at least seven wreaths, one for each
service branch, one for the Merchant Marine and one for Prisoners of War
and those Missing In Action (POW/MIA).
This listing is in alphabetic order by state. Select the name of the
state in which the cemetery is located. Please note that there is not a
VA national cemetery in every state.
