Volunteers and staff will honor Veterans by laying wreaths at Daysville Cemetery in Oregon and joining the Wreaths Across America event. Serenity will join the more than two million volunteers and supporters who gather to remember, honor, and teach at more than 4,600 participating locations in all 50 states, at sea, and abroad.

In 2007, the Worcester family, along with the support of veterans organizations and a variety of other groups and individuals who had helped with their annual veterans wreath ceremony in Arlington, formed Wreaths Across America, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, to continue and expand this effort, and support others around the country who wanted to do the same. The simple mission of the organization was established:

Remember. Honor. Teach.

Just one year later, over 300 locations held wreath-laying ceremonies in every state, Puerto Rico and 24 overseas cemeteries. Over 100,000 wreaths were placed on veterans’ graves. Over 60,000 volunteers participated. And that year, December 13, 2008 was unanimously voted by the United States Congress as “Wreaths Across America Day.”
