Please join members of the Fairlington Social Club for the annual Wreaths Across America @ Arlington National Cemetery on Saturday December 13, 2025 at 8:00 AM for the laying of wreaths.
Each year the Worcester Wreath Company makes and decorates Christmas wreaths and places them on headstones at Arlington National Cemetery to honor our nation’s fallen heroes and recognize the sacrifices our Veterans have made for our country.
All gates into Arlington Cemetery grounds will be opened to the general public at 8:00 AM.
FSC members will meetup on the right side of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier near the restrooms at 8:30 AM.
We will take a group photo then head over to the trucks to pick up wreaths and place on the headstones.
Look for the FSC Meetup signs.
When you place the wreath, you may be the first person to visit that particular grave in years, so we hope you will take time to read the stone and honor the memory of that hero.
Arlington Cemetery is hallowed ground. Please be respectful at all times.
At 10:00 AM there will be a wreath laying at the Columbarium, the President Taft Monument at 10:30 AM, the President Kennedy grave at 11:00 AM, followed by an 11:30 AM wreath laying at the USS Maine Memorial. The final ceremony will take place at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at 12:00 Noon.
The use of Metro is highly encouraged. While the Arlington Cemetery stop on the Blue Line stops at the cemetery entrance, you can access various parts of the Cemetery from the Rosslyn, Pentagon, and Pentagon City stops via only a short walk.
Multiple cemetery gates will be open to provide pedestrian access to the ceremony. Parking at the ANC Welcome Center Parking Facility will be restricted. No private vehicles will be allowed to enter the Cemetery grounds.
No food or drink, except water, is allowed within the cemetery grounds.
Restrooms are available at the Information Center, Women’s Memorial, and at the Memorial Amphitheater/Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Dress for the weather. Wear comfortable all-weather shoes and gloves.
