UConn’s Office of Veterans & Military Programs, in partnership with the Arnold Air Society, need your help. This holiday season we’re honoring the service and sacrifice of over 900 veterans laid to rest in Mansfield, and we can’t do it without you.

More details are on our Wreaths Across America Website.

As many of you may know, our office loves a good competition, we will have the option for teams at UConn compete to sponsor the most wreaths. To compete, please email emily.i.lugo@uconn.edu with your team’s name. Emily will then add your team to the form so other team members can enter their wreath donations. As you purchase wreaths, you will complete this Form which will indicate your team’s name and order number. You can email Emily directly with any questions about Wreaths Across America. Winner gets a commemorative trophy! Thank you all for your continued support.

On December 21, 2026 at 11:00AM we will hold a ceremony at the New Storrs Cemetery to Remember and Honor our veterans and afterwards we will by laying Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country’s fallen heroes. We’d love for you to join us!
