Wreaths Across America (WAA) is a national nonprofit organization founded in 2007 to continue and expand the annual wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery begun by Maine businessman Morrill Worcester in 1992. WAA's mission — Remember, Honor, Teach — is carried out in part by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington, as well as at veterans' cemeteries and other locations in all 50 states.
Since its founding, the organization has expanded to include nearly 2,000 local fundraising groups in all 50 states, representing more than 1,600 participating locations, in addition to Arlington National Cemetery.
When you sponsor a wreath for a veteran grave, you remember their lives and service. Join WAA for wreath placements on December 14, 2019, at 11 am CST to coincide with wreath placement at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery, including the national cemeteries at DFW, Houston, and San Antonio and Texas State Cemetery-Austin and 108 other WAA-Texas locations.
