Wreaths Across America held at Daysville Cemetery
On National Wreaths Across America Day, volunteers placed over 3 million wreaths at 4,900+ U.S. cemeteries to honor veterans' sacrifices and keep their stories alive.
- On Dec. 13, volunteers nationwide placed holiday wreaths on veterans' graves during National Wreaths Across America Day, including at West Virginia, Fayetteville, and Great Lakes National Cemeteries.

- Organizers have set Saturday, Jan. 10, 2026 as the wreath removal day, and Gigi Gearhart said the ceremony will return next year with a goal exceeding 6,000 wreaths.
