Summary
Dozens of organizations and scores of volunteers came together at the National Veterans Cemetery in Bourne, Mass. on Saturday, Dec. 15, 2018, to remember and honor those who served in defense of the nation. The wreath laying ceremony draws hundreds of local residents, civil leaders, government officials, military personnel and Gold Star family members.
Wreaths Across America began in 1992 by Morrill Worcester, owner of the Worcester Wreath Company of Harrington, Maine. When he encountered a surplus of wreaths near the end of the holiday season, he decided to donate the excess wreaths to Arlington National Cemetery.
Since then, the program has grown and has established a longstanding tradition of ensuring the graves of the country's veterans are honored annually. Today, ceremonies are held at countless locations nation-wide.
