Go do a Google image search under "Christmas Wreaths". Many thousands of images will show up. The majority are green with red ornaments.
Like these:
Yet a group that places wreaths on the graves of veterans in recent years insists they are VETERAN'S wreaths, and not religious symbols.
A few days before Christmas, they'll be placing the wreaths on the graves, without permission from the survivors, and without regard for the actual real religious beliefs (or lack thereof) of the veterans buried there.
By the way, a google image search under "veteran's wreaths" turns up a significantly smaller number of images, most of them part of media coverage.
And while we're on the topic of Christmas, I watched an interview with a group putting on what they call an "interfaith nativity display". They've been putting the display on for years, and every-time they do I make the same suggestion: Stop using the word "interfaith".
Inter-denominational, sure, but not interfaith.
The nativity scenes don't have any particular appeal to non-Christians.
