Welcome to the PA0134 - Marine Corps League Washington County Detachment 1138 Wreaths Across America Page.  We participate in the "3-for-2 Program."  For every two wreaths purchased, a third one will be provided at no additional cost.  100% of all of our fundraising efforts go directly toward the purchase of wreaths for our Fallen.


Our Detachment has been fundraising for the Wreath Across America program to benefit the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies since 2015. Each year our fundraising goals have increased. In 2023, we were fortunate to have received $12,791 in donations. Since we participate in the "3-for-2 Program" and the "Wreaths Match Program" each year, we were able to place 1,330 wreaths at the Cemetery.


We are proud to be part of the effort which has covered each and every grave of our Fallen for the ninth year in a row! This success could not have been achieved without the generosity of people like you . . . and we are truly grateful! Please accept our heartfelt thanks to all who have donated through us and for remembering and honoring our Fallen Heroes.  Here's to the tenth year of covering all graves at the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies!


On Saturday, January 20, 2024, Detachment 1138 will be helping the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies with Clean Up of the Wreaths.  Please plan to volunteer with us.  It will warm your heart and enlighten your Christmas spirit when you see how many show up on this day!


Please mark your calendar for our Ninth Annual Wreaths Fundraising Lunch at the Texas Roadhouse in Washington, PA scheduled for Tuesday, July 30, 2024 from 11 AM - 2 PM.  This event will include a $10 lunch, bake sale, 50/50 raffle, and a basket auction.  The bake sale and basket auction have always received many great reviews, so come to check it out for yourself!  We strive to continue to make this event bigger and better each year!


We are always continuing our fundraising efforts, with the hopes to achieve nine years of covering every grave at the National Cemetery. Won't you join us in achieving this goal?


"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."

—Helen Keller

2023 Thank You

We are so grateful for the community's continued support and thank everyone who has sponsored a wreath, volunteered their time, or helped us spread the word about our mission. Thanks to your generosity, we reached our goal to ensure 16,200 veterans laid to rest at the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies was honored with a remembrance wreath.

Each year, approximately 2,000 new veterans are laid to rest at the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies. Therefore, the need for wreaths is always growing. We are now focused on getting a head start for 2024. Each handmade, fresh, live wreath is made in the United States with Maine balsam. The cost to sponsor one wreath is $17. We are grateful for any amount of generosity you can offer and are appreciative of your time for consideration.

On behalf of Wreaths Across America, the volunteers, and families of those laid to rest at the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies, we thank you for your support.
