HOTH Mission

Wreaths Across America
Long Island National Cemetery

All Military Branches

Farmingdale, NY - 12/13/2025

Mission applies to the following Region(s):

Region 8, Region 9

About the Mission:

Remember, Honor, Teach at Long Island National Cemetery.

LE-led escort of Wreath Trucks will KSU from Hilton Long Island at 9:30AM sharp, to Long Island National Cemetery. Wreaths will be distributed one per person until supply is exhausted.

Although we have improved the process of this event each year, we have needed to address certain issues. One is traffic control inside and outside the cemetery. The Punishers LEMC has committed to sending many of their members from several of their Chapters, along with other LEMCs, to direct the flow of traffic and parking. Suffolk County Police Department has committed to supplying personnel and equipment to aid in traffic control outside all four gates of Long Island National Cemetery.

We have no need for shuttle trailers and equipment this year. We expect far fewer wreaths compared to years past. Wreath Trucks will be parked near sections to be covered.

Thanks to Suffolk County 1st Precinct, NY State Police, Punishers LEMC, Red Knights MC, Long Island HOG, American Legion Riders, Rolling Thunder NY6, Marine Corps League - Sunrise Detachment, and probably several others who I am neglecting to mention, for their participation in this undertaking.
