An item from the Wreaths Across America organization.
Whenever we celebrate a milestone, we’re reminded of the journey that brought us here.
Today, Wreaths Across America proudly begins its 20th year as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization…and with it comes many memories.
Many of you know that Wreaths Across America began as the Arlington Wreath Project in 1992. My husband had been in the balsam products industry for years, and that year he found himself with a surplus of wreaths. He immediately thought back to a moment from his childhood: standing in Arlington National Cemetery as a twelve-year-old after winning a trip as a paperboy. That experience left a lasting impression on him.
