About the Mission:

Wreaths Across America (WAA) will be hosted at Calverton National Cemetery on Saturday, December 13, 2025. The Support Committee for Calverton National Cemetery is coordinating the WAA event:https://calvertonsupport.com/

Thank you to the Committee and to our volunteers for every effort to honor the service and sacrifice of veterans. Wreath placement will begin at 9:00 am – volunteers have been assigned start times at 15-minute intervals to help reduce traffic backups. We are slated to receive under 10,800 Wreaths (1800 ARE GRAVE SPECIFIC) and there are a great number of volunteers – volunteers will be able to lay 6 wreaths each. Sections to be decorated are 23,26,29 and 31. Wreaths will be staged in those sections for the volunteers to place. We ask volunteers to stay mindful of ensuring that wreaths are not placed on headstones and markers with the Star of David emblem of belief unless specifically requested by the families. Other Veterans and families who do not wish a wreath to be placed on their loved one’s grave site may contact our office to be placed on an exception list.
Wreath pickup is January 10, 2024.
