Upon conclusion of the ceremony, thousands of live wreaths will be placed on the headstones of our heroes laid to rest there.

Wreaths are $15 each, and if sponsoring through a specific group, for every two wreaths sponsored, a third is donated for free, thanks to the sponsoring organization and Wreaths Across America.
