Wreaths Across America is a national organization on a mission to REMEMBER those who’ve served in the military, HONOR their service and sacrifice, and TEACH others to do the same. Each December, wreaths are laid upon the gravesites at National Cemeteries across all 50 states.

Wreaths Across America – San Diego supports Ft. Rosecrans and Miramar National Cemeteries, Greenwood and Glen Abbey Memorial Parks, Valley Center, Oak Hill, and Fallbrook Masonic Cemeteries to carry out the mission to “remember, honor, and teach.” WAA San Diego partners with individuals, groups, businesses, organizations, and corporations to sponsor wreaths through fundraising. Additional wreaths are brought to San Diego to cover every site at participating cemeteries. 

The Wreaths Across America story began over 20 years ago when Worcester Wreath Company (a for-profit commercial business from Harrington, Maine) began a tradition of placing wreaths on the headstones of our nation’s fallen heroes at Arlington National Cemetery.

Over the years, Worcester Wreath has donated countless wreaths which were placed by volunteers in a wreath laying ceremony each December.
