Wreaths Across America (WAA) is a national nonprofit organization founded in 2007 to continue and expand the annual wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery begun by Maine businessman Morrill Worcester in 1992. WAA’s yearlong mission is to remember the fallen, Honor those that serve, and teach the next generation the value of freedom. Since 2008, Congress proclaims a Saturday in December as National Wreaths Across America Day.
