In 2013, 540,000 wreaths were donated and placed at more than 900 participating locations.

Last year, American Heritage Girls in the Washington, DC area laid approximately 3,000 wreaths at a nationwide remembrance ceremony at the U.S. Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home National Cemetery in Washington D.C. Help fill the entire cemetery of 13,000 veterans’ graves this year with your donation today!
