Wreaths Across America 2011
The Objective: This is the 20th year that Wreaths Across America has placed wreaths in Arlington Cemetery. Last year, the organization was able to place 25,000 wreaths on tombs in three hours with nearly 6,000 volunteers. This year’s goal is to place wreaths on all 220,000 tombs.
The Plan: The group’s mission is to Remember, Honor, and Teach about the men and women who gave their lives defending our country by coordinating wreath laying ceremonies on the second Saturday of December (10th) at Arlington Cemetery, as well as other veterans’ cemeteries in all 50 states and beyond.
