Wreaths Across America

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.
