WASHINGTON — (WMAL) An organization that honors veterans every holiday season needs your help to continue its annual wreath laying event.

Wreaths Across America has been putting a fresh balsam wreath on every headstone at Arlington National Cemetery since 1992. This year, however, organizers said they don’t have enough money to buy all the wreaths they need.

According to WTOP, the organization was still 8,000 wreaths short Tuesday morning.

Volunteers are scheduled to lay the wreaths on thousands of headstones on Dec. 12.
