The coronavirus pandemic forced Wreaths Across America to take on a new look for its annual tradition. Each December since 1992, Wreaths Across America commits to laying wreaths at Arlington National Ceremony to Honor and Remember fallen veterans – an effort that expanded in 2007 to include more than 2,100 additional locations nationwide. "Today we place these wreaths on these memorial stones and we remember," said Col.
David Shoffner, a chaplain. "We remember with hearts full of gratitude and appreciation, the men and women these stones remind us of." (Nathan Wilkes, Joint Base Lewis-McChord Garrison Public Affairs) The 2020 edition of the national effort went digital in some locations for health and safety.
