Ceremony and Volunteer Information

We are happy that you are willing to help with our Wreath Across America ceremony at Long Island National Cemetery. Please do not forget to register to volunteer! That way you will get all updates about the cemetery itself.

Our ceremony will take place at noon and wreath laying will start shortly after that around 12:30pm. Wreaths will be in boxes at the assigned areas throughout the cemetery. Maps will be provided to show where to place the wreaths at the cemetery.

• Everyone of all ages and backgrounds is welcome.
• Please help ensure that all participants get the opportunity to place a wreath.
• Please follow the location coordinators instructions on where to place wreaths, as well as "how" they should be placed.
• We especially appreciate volunteers willing to help clean-up. Please check in with the location coordinator if you are interested in helping with the clean-up.

The most important thing to remember is to have a wonderful experience participating in the ceremony and thank you so much for help Wreaths achieve our mission to remember, honor and teach.
