VA Secretary Robert L. Wilkie said while COVID-19 scaled down Wreaths Across America events, they still ensure people remember Veterans.

Veterans and their families can participate in Wreaths Across America in national cemeteries, but there will be restrictions due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Thousands of volunteers laid wreaths at VA national cemeteries across the U.S. as part of National Wreaths Across America Day Dec. 14.

Each December on National Wreaths Across America Day, the mission to honor fallen Veterans is carried out with wreath-laying ceremonies at cemeteries across the U.S. and abroad.

"The ceremonial wreaths pay tribute to our armed services and demonstrate the gratitude the country feels for those who have served.”

This Saturday, Dec. 16, volunteers will place holiday wreaths to honor and remember America’s Veterans at more than 100 VA national cemeteries as part of the annual Wreaths Across America event.
