Arlington National Cemetery
On Saturday, December 14, 2019, at 8:30 a.m., volunteers will lay 253,000 veterans’ wreaths at Arlington National Cemetery. These wreaths symbolize a commitment to remember and honor our nation’s veterans through the laying of wreaths on the graves of our country’s fallen heroes and the act of saying the name of each veteran aloud.
As one of the largest national cemeteries in the United States, Arlington National Cemetery's goal of covering every veteran’s grave with a wreath is lofty and requires a team of dedicated volunteers.
