At Congressional, we remember our veterans. And this year, we are proud to work once again with Wreaths Across America to do just that. We hope that you will consider a donation to help fund the costs of wreaths that will be laid at veteran graves on December 13. After a ceremony at 11:00 AM, our volunteers, along with active duty service members, will lay the donated wreaths.
