Worcester Wreath Co. and its involvement with
the Arlington project was inspired when at the early age of 12
years old, as a Bangor Daily News paperboy, Morrill
Worcester won a trip to the Nation’s Capital. It was a trip he
would never forget, and Arlington National Cemetery made
an indelible impression. In later life, he recognized that his
success as a businessman was in large part, due to the values
of this Nation and the Veterans who made the ultimate
sacrifice for their country.
In 1992, Worcester Wreath Company of
Harrington, Maine found themselves with an excess of
wreaths nearing the end of the holiday season. Seeing an
opportunity to make a boyhood dream a reality, efforts to do
something special with those wreaths began in earnest. With
the help of Maine Senator Olympia Snowe and the Maine
State Society of DC, arrangements were made for the wreaths
to be placed at Arlington. Again an impression was made
and he vowed to bring the wreaths every year.
In 2006, in response to thousands of e-mails and
letters, Worcester Wreath expanded its wreath donations
nationwide. With the help of the Civil Air Patrol and many
others, ceremonies were held simultaneously at 230 locations.
From the snow banks of Alaska to the sands of Iraq our
Nation’s heroes were honored. From here Wreaths Across
America™ was born.
In 2013, with the help of thousands of individual
and, corporate sponsors and volunteers, 540,000 wreaths
were donated and placed at over 900 participating
locations.

By early 2007, with so many requests for
cemetery wreaths, the Worcesters reached out to the
community and the nonprofit group Wreaths Across
America™ was formed. Mr. Worcester doubled his
yearly pledge to Arlington to 10,000 wreaths and
continued his tradition of sending 2,500 to the Maine
Veterans Cemetery along with providing wreaths for the
veteran’s graves in the local communities of the small
county he grew up in. Again in 2010 Ceremonial
wreaths for each branch of the military were sent to all of
the participating State and National cemeteries along
with many local town cemeteries and monuments.
Wreaths will also be provided for 24 offshore cemeteries,
including Normandy Beach and a large Veteran’s
commemorative wreath will be sent to each state’s State
House for the ceremony on the Monday prior to the
WAA Saturday event.
Inspired by his commitment Wreaths Across
America™ has turned its attention to answering the
requests of many to emulate the Arlington project at their
State veteran’s cemeteries. By offering sponsorships to
the public, Wreaths Across America™ hopes that one
day every veteran’s resting place will be adorned with a

In 2007, the Worcester family, along with veterans, and others who had helped with their annual Christmas wreath ceremony in Arlington, formed Wreaths Across America™, to continue and expand this effort, and support other groups around the country who wanted to do the same. This nonprofit organization continues the Arlington tradition as part of its mission to Remember, Honor and teach. In 2013, Wreaths Across America and our national network of volunteers laid over 540,000 memorial wreaths at over 900 locations in the United States and beyond. We accomplished this with help from 1659 fundraising groups, many corporate contributions, and donations of trucking, shipping, and thousands of helping hands. Our annual pilgrimage from Harrington, Maine to Arlington National Cemetery is known as the world’s largest veteran’s parade, stopping at schools, monuments, veteran’s homes and communities all along the way to remind people how important it is to remember, honor and teach. Proceeds place a wreath at one of the participating cemeteries; help support our fundraising partners, educational and veteran’s services outreach. Please note that all sponsorships are sent directly to the location and no wreaths are sent to the individuals purchasing sponsorships. We welcome all to join us at any Wreaths Across America ceremony. If you would like to participate or help bring sponsored wreaths to your local community, please contact us and we will help connect you with other groups already working in your area.
