Do you place wreaths on Jewish headstones?

"Wreaths Across America (WAA) is not affiliated with any religion or political view. The organization’s yearlong mission is to Remember all the fallen, Honor those that serve, and Teach the next generation the value of freedom. Because WAA is a guest at the more than 4,200 participating locations we visit each year, we abide by each location’s rules regarding the placement of wreaths on veterans’ headstones.

At those cemeteries without a formal policy, we advise volunteers not to place a wreath on the headstones of those graves marked with the Star of David out of respect for Jewish custom, which is not to place living flowers, wreaths or laurels on grave sites. We ask volunteers to pause and pay their respects, including saying these names out loud to ensure they are remembered. The exception is when families of the deceased request a wreath, and their wishes are honored. We also ask volunteers not to remove wreaths on headstones marked with the Star of David, as a family member or loved one may have placed them there.

Or goal as an organization is to use this dialogue to share and Teach younger generations about the diversity of our American heritage and the freedoms for which so much was sacrificed."
