About this campaign
Arlington is our Nation's veterans cemetery, with men and women buried
from every conflict, every branch of the service, and every state.
Help us place a wreath and pursue our mission to Remember, Honor, and Teach.
2014 marks the 150th anniversary of Arlington National Cemetery.
*By popular request - the WAA Volunteer Shirt That Also Places A Wreath To Honor A Hometown Hero Buried At Arlington
Each
stone marks a name, bears a story, and represents a family who went
without a loved one in service to our Country. Let's leave no stone
behind.
Wreaths have been placed to honor those buried on those
hallowed grounds since 1992. Our goal is to honor every veteran buried
there in this significant year.
Last year 143,000 wreaths were
placed on headstones at Arlington alone. This year the goal is to place
230,000 and we need your help.
Wreaths Across America is a
national 501(c)3 with over 1000 participating locations nationwide. We
receive no government funds in support of this tribute. Each wreath is a
gift to honor the families, by those who know that showing our
appreciation is the most we can do for the families they left behind.
Wear
your shirt with pride and help educate others about the mission to
Remember, Honor, and Teach about the character of our veterans. Together
we can show their families that we will never forget their service
and sacrifices.
Please consider giving beyond the cost of your
t-shirt. For every $15 sponsored - a wreath will be placed at a
veteran's headstone as an living, evergreen symbol of all that was
sacrificed to protect our freedoms.
For example, there are over 10,000 stones in Section 60 deserving
of a wreath and remembrance gift this holiday season. Section 60 of
Arlington is the location where many of our most recent casualties in
the War on Terror are laid to rest. The holiday season for many of these
families has been changed forever. But each year we hear poignant and
emotional stories from those who hearts were warmed just a little when
they saw that others still feel and care about their loss and sacrifice.
It is the least the we can do.
We are seeing many groups,
businesses, and organizations starting to step forward and adopt
sections of Arlington as their goal - because together we can honor all
the veterans, and their families who have that deep connection to those
hallowed grounds.

The Soldier's who defend our country for our freedom deserve to be honored for their service. And to lend support for the volunteer's.

God Bless Our Military and may be never forget the sacrifices made for our country.
In memory of James Erhardt, my husbands grandfather, who passed away earlier this year. He was 97 years young and WWII Navy Veteran. Thank you to all who have served.
My father is in Section 60, and so are many others. I hope to bring a bit of winter beauty to this place of remembrance in the hope that it eases someone's pain for just a little while.
If you don't stand behind our troops, Please stand in front of them.
