Key Points
The Senate officially named December 13, 2025, as a day to remember fallen military members. This tradition involves placing Maine balsam fir wreaths on the graves of veterans at Arlington National Cemetery and thousands of other locations across the country.
The resolution honors the Wreaths Across America project, which has delivered over 23 million wreaths since it started 33 years ago. In 2024 alone, volunteers placed about 3 million wreaths at nearly 5,000 sites to honor those who served in the military.
The event includes a week-long parade of trucks traveling from Maine to Virginia. This journey is supported by the trucking industry, motorcycle groups, and first responders who help transport and escort the wreaths to their final destinations.
This designation aims to teach younger generations about the sacrifices made by veterans and their families. It recognizes the work of millions of volunteers and donors who participate in these ceremonies across all 50 states and overseas.
