Wreaths Across America is a nonprofit organization founded to continue and expand the annual wreath laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery begun by Maine businessman, Morrill Worcester, in 1992 when his company, Worecester Wreath had a surplus of holiday wreaths. Wreaths Across America is held annually on the second Saturday of December.
