Wreaths Across America began in the early 1990s, when Worcester Wreath in Maine had extra wreaths at the end of the holiday season. The owner, Morrill Worcester, made arrangements with a state senator to have them placed at Arlington National Cemetery.
Today, Wreaths Across America places over 220,000 memorial wreaths at 545 locations. This year’s ceremony will be held on December 19th, 2020 at 12:00 PM.
