An update from the Wreaths Across America organization.


WAA.MovingTheMission.Header.1521x542.2020

Hello Michael,

 

We are less than 50 days away from National Wreaths Across America Day! Over 6,000 participating locations are getting ready. It’s not too late to join the Honor Fleet and haul a truckload of respect. You can view open lanes here, or reach out to the transportation team directly. If you’re already a part of the program, we appreciate your dedication and flexibility as the season begins.

 

What to expect in the next couple months:

  • You should have already scheduled your loading appointment. If you haven’t, please reach out as soon as possible.
  • Load Confirmations will start getting sent out the second week of November.
  • In December, prior to loading, keep monitoring your email in case there are changes to your Load Confirmation. We try to minimize last-minute changes; at times, we need to adjust a load to accommodate sponsorships.

 

Please add trucking@wreathsacrossamerica.org to your list of approved/trusted senders in your email. Once whitelisted, our emails won’t end up in spam, so you won’t miss out on important updates before and during season.

The WAA Transportation Team is here for you! Give us a call at 207-618-7530. Thank you for your continued support, flexibility and passion for the mission.

 

With gratitude,
WAA Transportation Team

50 Days Until National Wreaths Across America Day!

An update from the Wreaths Across America organization.  Be sure to join the Branch as we support our U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps – Arkansas Division at the event scheduled for the San Francisco National Cemetery at the Presidio on Saturday, 19 December 2026.

In the coming days, we will recognize two important occasions: Election Day and Veterans Day. While each has a different purpose, I believe they share an important message about freedom and responsibility.
On Veterans Day, we honor the men and women who have served and sacrificed to protect the freedoms we enjoy. On Election Day, we have an opportunity to exercise one of those freedoms and take an active role in our country’s future.
But the responsibility of citizenship goes well beyond the voting booth. It begins at home, where we teach our children kindness, respect, honesty, and the importance of doing their part.

Remember Me Wreath Sponsorship

forgotten__58189

The sponsorship of a Remember Me Wreath ensures that someone without living loved ones to remember them is not forgotten. This wreath will be sent to where it is most needed to be placed on the headstone of a U.S. servicemember by a volunteer in that community. Unlike regular sponsorships, these wreaths are distributed based on need rather than assigned to a specific location or group, supporting Wreaths Across America’s mission to honor and remember every veteran. Including a Remember Me Wreath extends your contribution by helping to honor heroes who might otherwise go unrecognized.

Share Veterans Day with Future Generations

Veterans Day is November 11.

Did you know? November 11 is the anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended World War I between the Allied nations and Germany in 1918-on the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month.

Share the history of Veterans Day and its enduring importance with a young person in your life. Download free lesson plans and activities from Wreaths Across America’s Teach Program at the button below.
