“Every day is an opportunity.” That quote is attributed to several prominent people, perhaps because truer words were never spoken.
We see opportunity every day in meeting and listening to the stories of amazing people whose experiences and accomplishments galvanize our commitment to the yearlong mission of Wreaths Across America.
I am proud of the dedication and hard work exhibited by our volunteers, sponsors and staff. I am equally proud of your understanding that we can use the knowledge we gain from those stories to support veterans, active duty and their families, and enlighten those who lives may not have been touched by a loved one who served.
I further believe that it is incumbent upon us to show our children through example that with freedom comes responsibility and in doing so we help to insure the future of liberty in America.
It is not in the simple act of laying a wreath and speaking a name that we make such a lasting impression on the next generation. It lies in the continued commitment from each of us to see “everyday as an opportunity” and continue to carry out our mission.
Remember. Honor. Teach. Karen Worcester, Executive Director of Wreaths Across America |
