Wreaths Across America are on pace to place 500,000 wreaths on the graves of Veterans this year but they are 35,000 short for Arlington National Cemetery.

The goal for Wreaths Across America for 2013 was a half million wreaths to be placed at the headstones of veterans. By sponsoring and donating, we help them honor our veterans and active military during the holidays. Not only are you honoring the veteran with your generous donation but you honoring their families as well.

However, they are short about 35,000 for Arlington National Cemetery. The wreaths cost in the neighborhood of $15.  Click here to buy/sponsor a wreath or for more information on the program or how you can help.

There are many ways to help Wreaths Across America including organizing ceremonies for cemeteries in your own communities, donating money to buy the wreaths or just purchasing wreaths for your own local communities.
