Wreaths Across America
December 13, 2025
The Wreaths Across America story began over 26 years ago when Worcester Wreath Company began a tradition of placing wreaths on the headstones of our Nation's fallen heroes at Arlington National Cemetery during the holidays.
Over that period, Worcester Wreath has donated tens of thousands of wreaths which were placed by volunteers in wreath-laying ceremonies each December. As word spread, the mission to Remember; Honor; and Teach about the sacrifices made by our veterans has captured the hearts and minds of many people in various communities across the Country.
Again, this season the Far West Texas Patriot Guard Riders have again been invited to participate with a motorcycle es**rt of the truck delivering wreaths for the "Wreaths Across America" ceremony at the Fort Bliss National Cemetery 5200 Fred Wilson Ave. El Paso, TX 79906 on the morning of Saturday, December 13, 2025.
