The National Museum of the Pacific War will join the nationwide effort of Wreaths Across America with a special wreath-laying ceremony on Saturday, December 19 at 11 a.m. Held in the museum’s Memorial Courtyard, the event aims to place 1,500 wreaths in tribute to the service and sacrifice of America’s military members.

Guided by its core mission—“Remember, Honor, Teach”—Wreaths Across America works to ensure that the legacy of our nation’s heroes lives on. Each wreath placed represents a commitment to remember the fallen, honor those who serve and their families, and teach future generations about the value of freedom.

Each December, Wreaths Across America coordinates ceremonies not only at Arlington National Cemetery, but at more than 4,200 locations nationwide and abroad. These efforts are supported by a network of dedicated volunteers who organize local events, raise sponsorships, and help carry out a week of activities including veterans’ tributes, statehouse ceremonies, and a “Veterans Parade” traveling from Maine to Virginia.

As a nonprofit organization that receives no government funding, Wreaths Across America relies entirely on the generosity of individual sponsors, corporate donors, and volunteer truckers to fulfill its mission. Year-round, the organization also supports veterans through recognition programs and provides educational resources to schools.

Community members can play an important role in helping the National Museum of the Pacific War reach its goal of 1,500 wreaths. Sponsorships are available throughout the year, with a deadline of November 30 to ensure placement in this year’s ceremony.
