The Tradition & History

What began in 1992 as a quiet tribute, when Maine wreath maker Morrill Worcester donated surplus wreaths to Arlington National Cemetery. Wreaths Across America has grown into a nationwide movement. Today, millions gather across thousands of locations to uphold a simple, solemn mission: Remember the fallen, Honor those who serve, and Teach the next generation the value of freedom. Saying each veteran's name aloud ensures their sacrifice is never forgotten.

How Your Support Helps Our Chapter

Sponsoring a wreath does double duty. Beyond honoring a resting service member, a portion of each sponsorship made through our chapter code directly supports the JCCC SVA. These funds will provide our chapter with opportunity to create networking events, community service outreach, and campus-wide engagement for our students.
