According to the volunteer group’s website, Wreaths Across America carries out “wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as at more than 3,400 additional locations in all 50 U.S. states, at sea and abroad.”
“While coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies each December on National Wreaths Across America Day is a big part of what we do, our mission to Remember, Honor and Teach is carried out throughout the year,” the group added. “From our Remembrance Tree program to the Wreaths Across America Museum in Maine, there are many different ways in which you can get involved.”
The annual wreath-laying tradition began in 1992 by Maine businessman Morrill Worcester, who had a surplus of wreaths that Christmas season. He arranged to place some of the wreaths at Arlington National Cemetery, and the rest is history.
Thomas, 74, garnered praise online for volunteering to help in the cold weather.
“This is wonderful, Emily. I can’t think of a person who embodies the spirit of this country more than Justice Thomas,” said Jarrett Stepman of the Claremont Institute. “Great man, and greatest living American.”
“Justice Thomas is a national treasure!” Newsmax writer Michael Dorstewitz tweeted.
“Justice Thomas continues to inspire,” former U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler, a Republican from Georgia, tweeted. “May God bless him and our fallen heroes.”
