Introduced December 11, 2025 by Susan Margaret Collins · Last progress December 11, 2025
Recognizes and honors the Wreaths Across America project for its long-running program of donating, transporting, and coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery and thousands of other U.S. and overseas locations. The resolution lists the project’s scale — millions of wreaths distributed, large volunteer and trucking-industry involvement, annual convoy activity from Maine to Arlington, and designated recognition days in December 2024 and 2025. The measure is purely ceremonial: it records findings about the project’s activities and impact, highlights volunteer and industry support, and commends the program’s contributions to veterans’ remembrance. It does not create new programs, authorize spending, or impose obligations on agencies or states.
