Virtual Wreaths Across America 2020

Our annual participation in the Wreaths Across America event went virtual this year. While we honored four alumni veterans from across our nation in this online event, we honor all alumni veterans who served our country in appreciation of their service. 

Since 2009, BC alumni have been gathering at Arlington National Cemetery in December to help place wreaths on every grave as part of the Wreaths Across America program. Brian Cummins ’82 started this tradition as he began identifying BC alumni buried at Arlington. Each year a group of alumni visits a number of BC graves to learn about the soldier, place a wreath, show the BC colors, and say a prayer. In 2017, a similar program was launched at Bourne National Cemetery in Massachusetts and in 2018, alumni in Florida started their own “Wreaths” tradition. In 2019, the San Diego Chapter joined in the effort by hosting their first event at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery. 

This year, we invite you to view our virtual Wreaths Across America event at your convenience. Thank you for your interest in our program!
