Wreaths Across America, Wednesday Program

Wreaths Across America-Houston (WAA-H) in it's present state was started in 2008 by the spark from a young boy questioning his father why Houston didn't’t get wreaths like Arlington National Cemetery did. It wasn't long after that moment when the father had a group of dedicated individuals working to correct that problem. Now WAA-H is one of the largest wreath laying events in the country, second only to Arlington. In 2012 the group is planning on laying over 35,000 wreaths upon the grave sites of our fallen heroes. The mission to remember, honor and teach is presented beautifully as the wreaths are presented for each branch of service and then placed upon so many grave sites. The event takes place on December 15th at the Houston National Cemetery, beginning at 11:00am. The event day attracts over 15,000 people to the cemetery to pay their respects. All are welcome to attend and lay wreaths. For more information please visit
