About The Memorial Wreath

Every November 11th, wreaths are laid at monuments across the country, from the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington to courthouse squares in small towns most maps barely show. The tradition goes back to ancient Rome, where laurel crowns honored the dead, and the shape of the circle has carried that meaning ever since. A ribbon tied just so, a moment of silence, a salute. It doesn't take long, but it stays with you.
