F. J. HIGGINS FUNERAL HOME SUPPORTS WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA PROJECT

Boston, MA : The Arlington Wreath project was started by Morrill Worcester in 1992 with the donation and laying of 5000 Christmas wreaths to Arlington National Cemetery. It was relatively obscure until 2005 when a photo of the stones adorned with wreaths and covered in snow circulated around the internet. The project received National attention. In 2006 over 150 State & National cemeteries held wreath laying ceremonies simultaneously. By 2008 over 300 locations held wreath laying ceremonies in every state, Puerto Rico and 24 overseas cemeteries. Over 100,000 wreaths were placed on veterans graves. Over 60,000 volunteers participated. WAA reached out to thousands of children with the message of Remember, Honor and Teach. The importance of honoring each fallen serviceman as an individual is stressed. The wreath laying is now held each year on the second Saturday of December and December 13, 2008 was unanimously voted by the US Congress as Wreaths Across America Day. By offering sponsorships to the public, Wreaths Across America hopes that one day every veterans resting place will be adorned with a wreath.
