Wreaths Across America Tour Stopping In Delaware County Next Week

NEWTOWN SQUARE, PA — The Delaware County Veterans Memorial in Newtown Square will host a Wreaths Across America ceremony next week.

At 8:45 a.m. on Thursday, the memorial will welcome Wreaths Across America’s annual "Escort to Arlington."

The stop in Newtown Square is the only Pennsylvania stop on the parade.

Thursday's ceremony will honor American patriots, which includes the laying of wreaths, musical performances, and remarks from local veterans.

Wreaths Across America will have their Mobile Education Exhibit on site as well to help educate local youth.

The wreaths’ journey to Arlington has become a tradition in itself, allowing locals along the route to share in the emotional and educational experience as the Wreaths Across America convoy passes through their hometown.

Wreath’s Across America’s full route can be seen online here, with the 55-plus vehicle convoy traveling down the East Coast stopping at schools, memorials, and other locations along the way to spread the year-long mission to remember the fallen, honor those that serve and their families, and teach the next generation the value of freedom.

This event is rain or shine, free and open to the public.

The Delaware County Veterans Memorial is located at 4599 West Chester Pike in Newtown Square.
