Wednesday 12.23.2020
We hope you and your loved ones are healthy and safe, especially during a holiday season that is quite different than usual. 2020 has been a year full of profound personal, professional and societal change and challenges. More than ever, are we grateful for this wonderful, inspiring and uplifting community.

We look forward with hope for what is to come in 2021 and thank you all for being a part of this journey.

Mission Matters Newsletter: Thank You and Happy Holidays
A note from the Wreaths Across America organization.
 |
|
Hi there, On behalf of the Wreaths Across America organization and its extended family of volunteers and supporters across the country, we want to thank YOU for your support of the Mission to Remember the fallen, Honor those that serve and their families, and Teach the next generation the value of freedom. This year in particular has presented many challenges for all involved with the mission to Remember, Honor, Teach. In many cases our local events had to be modified more than once to meet local guidelines for health and safety. The staff worked closely with local volunteers to provide the tools necessary to keep the public informed and safe throughout the year and this ongoing process. With a record number of participating locations this year (2,557) undoubtedly mistakes were made, and for that we apologize and commit to you that we will continue to work towards improvements to ensure all involved with the mission have a meaningful experience. We understand this mission is incredibly personal for each individual involved. The team at Wreaths Across America cares deeply for the mission and all those connected to it. With each of the 1.7 million sponsored veterans’ wreaths placed on Dec. 19 – and in some cases over several days in an effort to modify events to keep the public safe – an American hero’s name was spoken out loud so they would not be forgotten. There was also an opportunity to teach, not just the children, but the communities as a whole, about their local history and heritage. As we head into this holiday season, may we all take the time to remember and thank those who served and sacrificed protecting our freedoms, as well as those currently serving, so that we can celebrate as we wish in the land of the free, because of the brave. Wishing you all a safe, and joyous holiday season! Wayne Hanson, Chairman of the Board & Karen Worcester, Executive Director |
