Wreaths Across America 2026

Posted: 11/5/2026

On Friday December 4, 2026 at 9:00 am we will gather at the United States Naval Academy Cemetery and Columbarium to take part in the meaningful tradition- Wreaths Across America. Each wreath placed on a veteran’s grave is more than a decoration- it is a reminder that someone’s life, service, sacrifice, and story will never be forgotten.

For $17, you can sponsor a wreath in honor or memory of a veteran. Your wreath can be a personal tribute to someone you knew and loved, or a way to recognize a veteran whose sacrifice made our freedom possible.

Imagine a sea of wreaths covering the grounds of the Naval Academy Cemetery, each one representing a life that mattered, a family that sacrificed, and a story worth remembering.

Please consider sponsoring a wreath and helping us say: “I remember you. I honor you. I will never forget.”
