We invite you to join the DC Spartans in volunteering at the annual laying of the wreaths at Arlington National Cemetery on Saturday, December 18 at 8:30 a.m.

If you haven't added this to your list of holiday traditions, you absolutely should. Placing a wreath on graves to honor our servicemen and servicewomen is a simple action with immense meaning. Also, if you have family, it is highly recommended that you bring them, too.

We hope you will consider showing your Spartan spirit through service and volunteer today. Because of the increased interest from the general public, Arlington National Cemetery has instituted entry reservations this year. In light of this we encourage you to make reservations as soon as possible if you are planning to participate. At this time, it appears reservations for Memorial Gate (the main gate) are already sold out for 8 a.m. entry. However, reservations for 8 a.m. entry for the other two gates, the South Gate and Ord & Weitzel Gate, are still available as of this posting.

You can learn more about the event and entry reservations at the following website:

We will plan to meet at 8:30 a.m. near the main gate in the plaza area where the trolleys load. As those who have participated before know, the wreaths often run out fast so we will gather and then figure out in which section we will be placing wreaths. We do request that volunteers sign-up with DC Spartans by December 14.

If you have any questions, please email Geoff Rinehart, who is leading this community service event, at gjrinehart@gmail.com.
