In 2019, Wreaths Across America laid 56,322 wreaths on headstones across Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in San Antonio. A nationwide event intended to preserve the memories of deceased veterans, the tradition started with a single man in 1992 at Arlington National Cemetery near Washington, D.C., and went nationwide in 2005 after a photo of the wreaths went viral. A Wreaths Across America event will take place at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday at Conroe’s Oakwood Cemetery on 10th Street.Matthew Busch, San Antonio Express-News / Contributor
