Default Wreaths for Arlington National Cemetery

As of today, according to the Washington Examiner, "Wreaths Across America has collected sponsorships for about 126,800 wreaths as of Tuesday, but it needs 245,000 to cover every grave at Arlington. As a result, the organization is extending the deadline to sponsor a wreath for Arlington until Dec. 14, when the last truck filled with wreaths leaves Maine bound for Washington, according to a spokeswoman."

If interested, "The wreaths will be laid out by volunteers at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as more than 1,200 locations across the country, on Dec. 17. Wreaths cost $15 and can be donated at wreathsacrossamerica.org."
