Wreaths Across America Day is Dec. 16, 2023 — and Fox News Digital spoke to one of the drivers who helped bring the wreaths to Arlington National Cemetery.
Patterson, a member of the National Guard, first learned about Wreaths Across America at work last year, through his trainer at Tyson Foods. When Patterson mentioned his military experience, his trainer said that the company has been involved with Wreaths Across America since 2010. "I love being able to help veterans as well as those like myself who are currently serving." An estimated three million wreaths will be placed on the headstones of America's veterans this year. Christine Rousselle is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
"He even showed me some videos he'd previously recorded," said Patterson. One showed the convoy of Tyson Foods trucks bringing Christmas wreaths to Arlington National Cemetery.
