Organizers have estimated about 725,000 wreaths will be placed nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A convoy of more than 25 vehicles, including tractor-trailers carrying 230,000 wreaths, left Harrington, Maine, on Dec. 7, and has arrived in the Washington, D.C. area. They&#8217;ll pull into Arlington National Cemetery at about 8 a.m. Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Organizers plan to place a wreath at each of the 230,000 graves, in honor of the cemetery&#8217;s 150th anniversary. With an extra 87,000 graves, that&#8217;s an increase of about 35 percent over last year&#8217;s effort at Arlington, at an overall cost of about $3.5 million, donated by the public. The organization is still short of its goal, but will continue to accept donations until midnight tonight at www.wreathsacrossamerica.org, said spokeswoman Amber Caron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;In past years, when placing the last wreath, we&#8217;ve seen bare markers and we&#8217;re reminded of the veterans who sacrificed so much for their country who are not being recognized,&#8221; said Wayne Hanson, Wreaths Across America chairman, in a statement announcing the expanded effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The non-profit organization was founded to continue and expand the annual wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery begun by Maine businessman Morrill Worcester in 1992. Worcester is matching every $15 donation for wreaths to get to the goal of laying a wreath on every grave at Arlington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The opening ceremony at McClellan Gate on McClellan Drive at Arlington National Cemetery will be at 9 a.m. Dec. 13; following instructions to volunteers, wreath-laying throughout the cemetery will continue from 9:30 to noon.Organizers are urging volunteers to take the Metro, and to arrive early, as more than 25,000 volunteers are expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To find the location of a wreath-laying event at a cemetery in your area, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wreathsacrossamerica.org\/\" title=\"http:\/\/www.wreathsacrossamerica.org\/\">wreathsacrossamerica.org<\/a>. The Veterans Affairs Department website also has a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cem.va.gov\/cem\/cems\/2014_Wreaths_Across_America_Ceremonies.asp#VA\" title=\"http:\/\/www.cem.va.gov\/cem\/cems\/2014_Wreaths_Across_America_Ceremonies.asp#VA\">listing<\/a> of locations and times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The convoy to Arlington includes tractor-trailers, donated by trucking companies and driven by volunteer drivers, as well as buses, motorcycles and cars transporting veterans, families of fallen soldiers and supporters. They&#8217;ve made stops along the way at schools, veterans&#8217; homes and in communities to share Wreaths Across America&#8217;s mission: Remember, Honor, Teach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Holiday wreaths coming to warm veterans&#8217; graves
