Wreaths Across America

From The Stars and Strips:
"Wreaths Across America: Honoring fallen troops with holiday tradition"

Volunteers converged on Arlington National Cemetery Saturday to lay more than 100,000 wreaths on the graves of fallen servicemembers, The Associated Press reported. According to The Associated Press, the tradition began 20 years ago with little fanfare. Morrill Worcester, owner of Worcester Wreath Co. in Harrington, Maine, and others laid 5,000 wreaths on headstones that first year to give thanks to the nation's veterans. Since then, it has grown into an organization called Wreaths Across America with ceremonies across the country every holiday season.
