Please note that the graves of the Pentagon and Flight 77 victims get wreaths in this event. \nPlease plan to get to the cemetery early and use Metro\, if possible! \nEvery year\, huge volunteer turnout creates traffic congestion and delays on nearby streets and at the Arlington entrance. These delays are long enough that some volunteers are unable to place a wreath. To increase access for Wreaths across America volunteers\, the Cemetery will open more gates for those using Metro\, approved parking lots\, or walking. \nFor 2013\, there are two primary wreath coverage areas. The main effort should blanket the eastern side of the cemetery (from north to south). The other effort will focus on the west side\, abutting Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall. (Actual coverage always depends on the final wreath count\, available only a couple days before the event.) \nSchedule for Saturday December 14\, 2013 \n6:00am: ANC Visitors’ Parking garage opens (ANC Family Pass and Disabled passes only)\n7:00am: Metro rail opens (system-wide)\n8:00am: ANC Gates open; Note: No private vehicle access to cemetery from 8:00am to 1:00pm\, including Family Pass holders\n~8:30am: WAA Truck Convoy arrives ANC Main Gate (time approximate)\n9:30am: WAA Opening Ceremony at McClellan Gate\n10:00am: Wreath laying begins across cemetery\n11:00am: Wreath-laying ceremony at President Kennedy’s grave\n11:30am: Wreath-laying ceremony at USS Maine Mast\n12:00pm: Wreath-laying ceremony at Tomb of Unknown Soldier \nFor wreath laying in your area or to support Wreaths across America\, please check their website.
