"Wreaths Out" at Arlington National Cemetery

Project Description

This year, National Wreaths Across America Day Wreath Retirement Saturday, January 10, 2026. Join the more than two million volunteers and supporters who will gather to Remember, Honor and Teach at more than 4,225 participating locations in all 50 states, at sea and abroad. Wreaths Across America is committed to teaching all generations about the value of their freedoms, and the importance of honoring those who sacrificed so much to protect those freedoms. On January 11 Wreaths Across America will be at the Arlington National Cemetery to retire the wreaths that were placed in December to honor the servicemen and servicewomen at ANC.

We will plan to meet at 8:45 a.m. at the corner of Patton Drive and Clayton Dr. (this is the same spot at which we met for wreath installation the last 2 years). The closest entrance is the Service Complex Gate. Parking is available at the Pentagon South Parking Lot and is just a 5-10 minute walk from the Service Complex Gate. More information can be found at the Arlington National Cemetery website: https://arlingtoncemetery.mil/WAA/Wreaths-Out
