With outpouring, nonprofit reaches goal of wreaths for Arlington Cemetery

WASHINGTON — One day after Wreaths Across America told WTOP it still needed 8,000 wreaths to be able to afford putting one on each headstone at Arlington National Cemetery, the nonprofit has reached its goal.

“We are very humbled by the response from so many and in such a short amount of time,” says organization chairman Wayne Hanson.

Additional sponsored wreaths that are received beyond the 230,000 goal will be placed at the Columbariums and Niche Wall Sections at Arlington, according to the organization.
