On Tuesday, December 10, 2024, Connecticut will welcome the Wreaths Across America convoy as it makes its way to Arlington National Cemetery. This annual journey brings remembrance wreaths to honor fallen servicemembers and serves as a moving tribute to their sacrifice. While the convoy will stop at two locations in Connecticut for private events, residents are encouraged to gather along the convoy route to show their support as it passes through.
The convoy’s two scheduled stops in Connecticut are as follows:
1:00 PM – James Hillhouse High School, New Haven, CT (Private event)

Closing Ceremony at James Hillhouse High School
3:45 PM –St. Ann Club, Norwalk, CT (Private event)
Although these stops are not open to the public, the convoy’s route offers an opportunity for residents to witness this meaningful tribute. A map detailing the convoy’s path through Connecticut will be provided to help communities find the best viewing locations.
The Wreaths Across America convoy, which begins in Maine, carries remembrance wreaths to be laid on the graves of servicemembers at Arlington National Cemetery. Along the way, it spreads the mission to honor, remember, and teach. Watching the convoy pass by is a powerful way to connect with this mission and honor the men and women who gave everything for our freedoms.
Plan to gather along the route on December 12 to show your support for this inspiring journey. For more details about the convoy and the mission of Wreaths Across America, visit their website. Let’s come together to honor those who served and sacrificed.
