WE ARE ... the Annapolis Chapter - Penn State Alumni Association (ACPSAA)!

Welcome to our Wreaths Across America Webpage.  

2025 marks our 12th consecutive year proudly supporting the Wreaths Across America effort...an effort that REMEMBERs the Fallen . . . HONORs those who Serve. . . and TEACHs our children the true value of Freedom.

This December, on Wreath Ceremony Day, our Chapter members will again gather with family, friends and neighbors at the Annapolis National Cemetery to Remember and Honor veterans by placing sponsored wreaths at the graves of our country's fallen heroes.

Won't you please help us HONOR and REMEMBER as many fallen heros as possible by sponsoring one or more wreaths, volunteering your time on Wreath Ceremony Day and/or inviting your family and friends to attend with you?

Thank you so much for supporting ACPSAA and especially for your support of Wreaths Across America!

My father took part in the D Day invasion. I got to visit D Day area in France a number of years ago. It is an important part of our history that Americans should remember and honor our veterans that took part in it.
