Wreaths Across America
The Wreaths Across America began 15 years ago when Worchester Wreath Company in Maine began a tradition of placing wreaths on the headstones at Arlington National Cemetery. Over the years, Worcester Wreath has donated over 75,000 wreaths which have been placed by volunteers at wreath-laying ceremonies.
This Saturday, December 15, 2007, wreaths will be laid at Wood National Cemetery in Milwaukee at 11:00 a.m. Turnout in the past has been sparse although there was some television coverage of the ceremony last year so perhaps this year there will be a larger showing.
To watch the ceremony, meet at the monument at the VA Cemetery on Walker Road in the cemetery. Take exit 308A south from I-94 west. Then use Zablocki Drive/General Mitchell Blvd heading south. The first street to the right (as you are heading south) is Walker Road and it dead ends at memorial. Parking is only along the roads - no parking lot at this location.
