Despite pandemic changes, 250,000 wreaths laid at Arlington National Cemetery [View all]
It's part of a nationwide effort by Wreaths Across America to place more than 1.7 million wreaths at veterans' graves.
ARLINGTON, Va. — It is an honored tradition that was almost canceled by the pandemic.
In a typical year today would be the day tens of thousands of volunteers from Wreaths Across America fill Arlington National Cemetery to lay hundreds of thousands of graveside wreaths.
This, however, is not a typical year. Concerns over COVID-19 threatened to scrap the yearly tradition but ultimately, the plan wasn't called off.
