Wreaths Across America Houston
The Wreaths Across America story began over 28 years ago when Worcester Wreath Company (a for-profit commercial business from Harrington, Maine) began a tradition of placing wreaths on the headstones of our Nation’s fallen heroes at Arlington National Cemetery.
Over the years, Worcester Wreath has sponsored countless wreaths which were placed by volunteers in a wreath laying ceremony each December.
