Wreaths Across America

Their mission to Remember, Honor, and Teach is a year-round effort, but it all comes together in just 60 days!

On National Wreaths Across America Day, communities across all fifty states will gather to honor veterans by saying their names aloud and thanking them for their service. But we can’t do it without you.

Your support over the years has made an incredible impact. Today, they need your help again to ensure every veteran is honored on Saturday, December 19. By repeating your 2025 wreath sponsorship, you can play an essential part in their mission to remember every U.S. servicemember this year.

If you haven’t already, it’s time to sign up to volunteer at one of their 5,600+ participating locations!

Once again, thank you so much for your support and for joining in this special experience that is National Wreaths Across America Day.
