Wreaths Across America 2009

 

December 12, 2009- National Wreaths Across America event to honor veterans at Arlington National Cemetery and over 400 participating locations nationwide

Beginning on Sunday December 6, over 150,000 donated Christmas Wreaths from the State of Maine will begin their journey to over 400 State and National Veterans Cemeteries all across the Country as part of the annual Wreaths Across America project.

The Wreaths Across America story began over 18 years ago when the Worcester Wreath Company from Harrington, Maine initiated a tradition of donating and placing wreaths on the headstones of our Nation’s fallen heroes at Arlington National Cemetery.  Recognition of the service and sacrifice of our veterans, and their families, is especially poignant during the traditional holiday season.

Worcester Wreath Company continues to be a major supporter of the project, donating over 25,000 total wreaths in 2008.  Over 1000,000 wreaths will be sponsored by individuals, businesses, and groups from communities Nation-wide.  Wreaths will be placed in all 50 states from Maine to Alaska and Hawaii, at several locations in Iraq, and at 24 National Cemeteries on foreign soil.

The Indiana Veterans Memorial Cemetery is honored to participate in the program again this year.  The program will be held at 12:00pm on December 12, 2009 at the facility.  Please join us as we honor our Veterans and their families by placing a Christmas Wreath on each of the headstones at the Cemetery.  The Christmas Wreaths were generously  sponsored by Morgan & Nay Funeral Centre and American Legion, Post 9.
