I'm participating in Wreaths Across America 2018. Will multiple gates be open for entry into the cemetery? I'm looking for a hotel within walking distance of the cemetery.

It's two Gates that may be available for you. The main gate which is off of Memorial Drive the secondary gate may be available to you which is off Columbia Pike which is the service complex gate. The closest hotel is the one directly off of Columbia Pike which is the Sheraton National. Otherwise the rest of hotels will be in Crystal City and Pentagon City and then you have to take the Metro ito cemetery stop. Due to security measures that is subject to change. Always check after Thanksgiving on wreaths across american and the cemtery website for changes.

Hi Susan - our normal four gates will be open on Wreaths Across America. The main entrance, Memorial Avenue, is closest to the Arlington Cemetery metro stop. The Ord & Weitzel Gate (near the Marine Corps War Memorial) is about a 15 minute walk from the Rosslyn metro station. The Service Complex Gate on Columbia Pike (near the intersection of Columbia Pike and Joyce Street, just down the street from the Air Force Memorial) is about a 10 minute walk from the Pentagon metro and 15 minute walk from the Pentagon City metro. The fourth gate is the Fort Myer Post Chapel gate and is only open to people who have access to Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall. Once all information regarding Wreath Across America has been finalized, it will be posted on our website and social media platforms.

Ok

There are quite a few hotels within Arlington, VA. However, within walking distance, I believe it would be a good stretch of the legs to walk.
