Commemorating Our Fallen Heroes

Join Ageless Wisdom Magazine and be a part of the impactful and heartwarming event, Wreaths Across America. On Saturday, December 11, 2021, communities across the nation will gather to honor and remember the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. This revered tradition serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by our heroes and allows us to express our gratitude and respect.

A Historic Tradition of Remembrance

Wreaths Across America traces its roots back to 1992 when a wreath company from Maine, Worcester Wreath, found themselves with an excess of wreaths nearing the holiday season. Seeking a way to honor and remember fallen veterans, the owner, Morrill Worcester, made the decision to lay these wreaths at Arlington National Cemetery. Moved by the experience, this act of kindness and respect became an annual tradition.

Today, Wreaths Across America extends far beyond Arlington National Cemetery. It has become a nationwide movement with thousands of volunteers coming together each year to place wreaths on the gravesites of fallen heroes in cemeteries across the country. From coast to coast, we unite in a show of solidarity, collectively honoring those who have served and sacrificed for our freedom.

Symbolism of the Wreath

The wreath holds deep symbolism within Wreaths Across America. The circular shape represents eternity, serving as a reminder that the sacrifices of our heroes will never be forgotten. The evergreen foliage represents the enduring spirit of their legacy and the hope we carry forward.

Each element of the wreath also holds special meaning. The red bow signifies the valor and determination of our servicemen and women. The ornaments and pine cones represent the cherished memories of loved ones left behind. And finally, the fragrant balsam branches represent the gratitude we hold in our hearts.
