Here's a little peek at our early days. What began in 1992 with a trailer load of wreaths to be laid at the graves of fallen soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery and known as the Arlington Wreath Project, became Wreaths Across America, a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization in 2007. Now with over 700 participating locations - all focused on the mission to Remember - Honor - and Teach. (photo from about 1994)
