Wreaths Across America - Alexandria

  • Alexandria National Cemetery 1450 Wilkes St Alexandria, VA 22314 (map)

MNSS is proud to participate in Wreaths Across America at the Alexandria National Cemetery in Alexandria, VA.

Come join fellow Minnesotans in laying wreaths to Remember, Honor, and Teach about our nation's veterans this holiday season.
After wreath-laying, participants are welcome to join together in Alexandria for socializing.

Alexandria National Cemetery is one of the original 14 national cemeteries established in 1862. The first burials made in the cemetery were soldiers who died during training or from disease in the numerous hospitals around Alexandria. By 1864, the cemetery was nearly filled to capacity, which eventually led to the planning, development and construction of Arlington National Cemetery.
