The Military Religious Freedom Foundation represents, when requested, the religious freedom rights of military families who do not want religious wreaths presumptuously placed on the graves of their deceased military veterans without permission. We do so because we respect their wishes & the religious group responsible for the religious wreaths does not. See militaryreligiousfreedom.org.

They are not religious wreaths and I’m not really interested in a third-party opinion but thank you for your service and sacrifice.

For your information, the religious wreaths are advertised as “Christmas” wreaths & sold as “Christmas ” wreaths to be placed during “Christmas”. “Christmas” is Latin for “Christ’s mass” which is a Christian religious ceremonial. To claim they are not religious is pounding sand & disingenuous.

@ John Compere – “For your information, the religious wreaths are advertised as “Christmas” wreaths & sold as “Christmas ” wreaths to be placed during “Christmas”. “Christmas” is Latin for “Christ’s mass” which is a Christian religious ceremonial. To claim they are not religious is pounding sand & disingenuous.”
John, you keep claiming this but I have scoured Wreath Across America websites and find no traces of the phrase “Christmas wreath” Can you at least provide a source to your claim.
For the commentator above, the Worcester Wreath Company, supplier of wreathes for Wreathes Across America states on their website that 2021 orders won’t be shipped until the middle of November. When clicking on the store icon there are pages of (gasp) Christmas wreathes.
There are the facts. Someone owes MRFF Board Member John Compere an apology.
Added observation – there are many greenery companies across the USA but only the Worcester Wreath Company supplies the wreaths for the made up congressionally approved holiday of wreath day. Seems to me someone has undue influence in the halls of our government.
