Share how you’re taking part in Wreaths Across America

American Legion Family members annually assist with placing of more than 1 million wreaths on the gravesites of veterans. 

For more than three decades, American Legion Family members across the nation have joined with other Americans to gather in December to "remember our fallen U.S. veterans, honor those who serve, and teach children the value of freedom" through the placing of wreaths on veterans’ graves.

This year, Dec. 14 will mark the 32nd National Wreaths Across America Day. Annually, more than 1 million wreaths are placed across more than 2,000 locations in the United States and throughout the world, honoring the veterans buried at those gravesites.

American Legion Family members have long been a part of Wreaths Across America events throughout the country, and 2023 was no different. Across the nation, American Legion Family members placed thousands of wreaths on the gravesites of veterans.  

American Legion posts and Legion Family members participating in this annual program are encouraged to share their photos and stories of their efforts at www.legiontown.org. Please include the number of wreaths you plan to place, as well as the cemeteries you plan to cover.
