AYD @ Wreaths Across America [[link removed]]
On December 16th, hundreds of people will gather to lay wreaths with Wreaths Across America at Arlington National Cemetery. AYD will once again be participating in this effort.
If you’ve never attended, it is a beautiful event to honor those who served our country. Morning of we will meet outside and across the street from the Arlington National Cemetary Metro Station at 8:30AM to walk over to the Memorial Avenue Entrance of the Arlington National Cemetery to get in line for the 9am volunteer time slot.
Online registration is required for wreath laying, so please fill out this form [[link removed]] by December 9th at 11:59pm so we can register everyone at the same time in order to ensure we all have the same 9am time slot.
Remember to bring the registration form that will be emailed to you as well as a photo ID.
