Wreaths Across America

wreaths

Wreaths Across America is a program which began in 1992 with the placing of wreaths on seldom visited veterans’ graves in a remote section of Arlington National Cemetery. It has since grown to be simultaneous ceremonies which take place all across America and on certain foreign shores in order to Remember and Honor all those who have served in the military of this great country as well as to Teach our youth about the importance and cost of the individual freedoms which we hold dear. Each December on National Wreaths Across America Day, our mission to Remember, Honor and Teach is carried out by coordinating wreath laying ceremonies at Arlington National cemetery, as well as at more than 1,600 additional locations in all 50 U.S. states, at sea and abroad.

Our goal is to remember and honor every veteran whose final resting place is in the Gallup State Veterans cemetery located at 333 National Cemetery Drive (off of Hassler Valley Road). The wreath laying ceremony will take place December 19, 2020 at 10:00 am.

Wreath Sponsors and Volunteers are essential in order for the Wreaths Across America program to succeed. Sponsors can pay for as many wreaths as they choose at a cost of $15.00 each. Volunteers can serve by placing wreaths, during the ceremony, on the grave sites of vetera ns who do not have family available. If you would like to serve by sponsoring and/or volunteering, please visit https://www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/pages/162984

Corporate Sponsors are also needed to sponsor additional wreaths for graves of veterans without family. If you would like to serve as a Corporate sponsor, please contact Janice Bradley at janiceb43@me.com.

Wreaths Across America is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization founded to continue and expand the annual wreath laying ceremony begun at Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, VA.
