Wreaths Across America


Each year, millions of Americans come together to REMEMBER the fallen, HONOR those that serve and their families, and TEACH the next generation about the value of freedom. Each year, a new theme is chosen for Wreaths Across America to help volunteers and supporters focus their messaging and outreach in their own communities. Today, the national nonprofit announced the theme for 2022:  FIND A WAY TO SERVE

We can serve our country along with our military by serving our community and others.

In 2021, more than 2.4 million veterans' wreaths were placed by volunteers on headstones at 3,137 participating locations around the country in honor of the service and sacrifices made for our freedoms, with each name said out loud.
 
This year, National Wreaths Across America Day is Saturday, December 17, 2022. It is a free event and open to all people. For more information on how to volunteer locally or sponsor a wreath for an American hero locally at Mt. Hope Cemetery, please visit www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/MO0173. To follow stories throughout the year from across the country focused on this theme, use the hashtag #FindAWay2022.
