2024 Wreaths Across America - Washington, DC Location
Event Overview
Each December on National Wreaths Across America Day, our mission to remember, honor and teach is carried out by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as at more than 3,400 additional locations in all 50 U.S. states, at sea and abroad. The Public Sector team has put together a group that will lay wreaths at Arlington Cemetery on Saturday, December 14th. We will be meeting at pentagon city mall in front of Target (900 Army Navy Dr Ste a2, Arlington, VA 22202). We then will walk to the Service Gate Complex which is about a 15–20-minute walk from the Pentagon or Pentagon City Metro stations. Recommended parking for our meeting point is Pentagon Row or Pentagon City Mall. All visitors 16 years of age and older (pedestrians, drivers, and passengers) must present valid photo identification upon entering the cemetery. Original documentation is required. Paper copies or cell phone photos of identification are not accepted.
