The annual ceremony honoring the memory and service of our veterans and first responders is a moving tribute that takes part in the National Wreaths Across America program to “Remember, Honor, Teach.” Many participating cemeteries in Northern Colorado and the United States have the annual ceremony displaying the $17 wreaths at many participating cemeteries. Many volunteers will place the commemorative wreaths on the graves of all veterans and first responders. The wreaths will be placed on the graves in early December and removed in January.
Wreaths Across America
Wreaths Across America is a nonprofit organization started by Morrill Worcester in 1992. The group was founded to continue and grow the annual tradition of laying wreaths at Arlington National Cemetery. Their mission is to “Remember, Honor, Teach.” This year, wreaths will be placed at all national cemeteries and at 4,500 local ceremonies across the U.S. to honor our nation’s heroes and raise awareness of veterans’ sacrifices. Both non-profit organizations, corporations, and individuals are encouraged to be a wreath sponsor! Many veterans groups, corporations, and non-profit are some of the sponsors in Northern Colorado!
Please visit their website www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/ and select the participating cemetery in your area if you would like to be a sponsor or volunteer!
