TAPS Togethers: National Wreaths Across America Day
December 16, 2023
On Saturday, December 16, we are inviting TAPS family members of all ages to join us for a time of special connection and remembrance at national cemeteries across the country with our partner Wreaths Across America for National Wreaths Across America Day.
National Wreaths Across America Day is an annual event that honors the brave men and women who have served our country in times of war and peace. By placing wreaths at graves of our nation's veterans and fallen heroes, and saying their names, we honor and remember those who have served and sacrificed on behalf of our nation.

Partnership Information
TAPS is proud to once again be an official non-profit partner with Wreaths Across America in these moving ceremonial events.
Wreaths Across America is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2007 to continue and expand the annual wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery begun by Maine wreath maker Morrill Worcester in 1992. The organization’s yearlong mission – Remember the fallen, Honor those that serve, Teach the next generation the value of freedom – is carried out, in part, each year by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies in December at thousands of participating locations in all 50 states and beyond.
