Each year, National Wreaths Across America Day brings together millions of Americans to remember the fallen, honor those who serve and their families, and teach the next generation about the value of freedom.
This gathering of volunteers and patriots takes place in local and national cemeteries in all 50 states and most recently at more than 2,500 participating locations. Each year, a new theme is chosen to help volunteers and supporters focus their messaging and outreach in their own communities, and the theme for 2021 is Live Up to Their Legacy.

Throughout the year, local volunteers have been tirelessly working to make certain that families, loved ones and heroes get honored and remembered for the holidays. However, the challenge was doing so in a way that is consistent with safety and in compliance with local COVID-19 recommendations and mandates.
