DC Spartans Wreaths Across America - Arlington

Project Description

DC Spartans will help Wreaths Across America honor those who have served in our military by placing a holiday wreath on every tombstone at Arlington National Cemetery. 

This event is a popular one in the area, so please make sure to REGISTER early to ensure your spot. Note that you will need to register with the Spartans Serve event as well as on the Wreaths Across America registration page. To register on the Wreaths Across America page, please go to Wreaths Across America site link below, and follow the instructions to complete your registration. 

The DC Spartans group is planning to "meet-up" at 8:45 a.m. at the corner of Patton Drive and Clayton Dr. (near the "bottom" of section 18.) This is relatively close to the Service Complex Gate.

If you wish to volunteer with other DC Spartans, please ensure you complete your registration with Wreaths Across America in a timely manner. 

You will not be able to volunteer on December 16th if you have not completed the above registration with Wreaths Across America. They also require that all volunteers show their completed registration AND a valid photo ID on the day of the event.

About Wreaths Across America

Wreaths Across America

REMEMBER the fallen… HONOR those who serve… TEACH our children the value of freedom.

Arlington is where the Wreaths Across America program began. Starting in 1992, our Founder and his family placed wreaths each December in a different section as a way of saying 'Thank You' to our nation's servicemembers. This private gift went on for many years before the public knew. In 2007, Wreaths Across America the national nonprofit was founded to expand upon this effort to include communities and citizens across the country.
