This image of a snow-covered section of Arlington, with wreaths on every headstone, is the viral image from 2005 that thrust Wreaths Across America into the national spotlight and led to the formal creation of Wreaths Across America as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 2007.
My own experience with Wreaths Across America, included a bitterly cold Saturday morning in 2017, where my family and I got to enter Arlington National Cemetery before regular operation hours, which let me witness a beautiful sunrise as dawn broke over Washington, DC
That morning I was able to lay a wreath at the headstone of Army Captain Michael Donald Groves, and speak his name aloud.
