Join Travis Manion Foundation, alongside Team Rubicon and The Mission Continues, as part of our Serve As One collaboration in the DMV, for a meaningful day of service at Arlington National Cemetery.

Each December, on National Wreaths Across America Day, volunteers across the country carry out the mission to Remember, Honor, and Teach by placing wreaths on the headstones of American heroes. Each January, we return to continue that act of respect by removing the wreaths, cleaning the area, and ensuring all headstones are restored to their original condition. This tradition is a powerful way to continue honoring the service and sacrifice of our nation’s fallen.

Volunteers will meet at the Pentagon South Parking Lot near the 9/11 Memorial and walk in together from there. All are welcome to participate in any or all portions of the day, and there is no requirement to arrive at 6:00 a.m.

Additional event details and timing can be found through Team Rubicon’s Roll Call page here:

After the day’s service, we’ll gather for a social at McNamara’s Pub in Arlington, where the first round of drinks will be covered.

If you have any questions leading up to the event or on the day itself, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Jonathan Tennis at 813-404-9365.

We look forward to serving together and continuing this meaningful tradition in honor of those who gave everything.
