Wreath-Laying Event at Arlington National Cemetery 

Join your fellow Minnesotans and hundreds of other volunteers to lay wreaths at Arlington National Cemetery.

Saturday, December 10
8:00am - 11:00am
 
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the wreath-laying project, and many extra hands are needed to reach the goal of covering all 225,000 graves. No experience is needed, just willing hands and a warm heart. The terrain can can be hilly, and sturdy shoes are recommended.
  
We will request RSVPs in late November, so we can plan hot chocolate for our group after the event. Free parking will be available.If you'd like to make a donation or sponsor the purchase of some wreaths, visit www.wreathsacrossamerica.org.
 
Meet at the Women's Memorial at 8:15 to join the MN group!
