“Every single day, in every walk of life, ordinary people do extraordinary things.”
Coach Jim Valvano
Wreaths Across America, as part of the “Teach” pillar of our mission, will host our first annual Lindbergh Crate Day event on Tuesday, May 20, in Maine on the tip lands where balsam is grown and harvested to make veterans’ wreaths.
The Lindbergh Crate, used to transport famed aviator and Medal of Honor recipient Charles Lindbergh’s plane, the Spirit of St. Louis, back to the United States from Paris in 1927, was gifted to WAA. The previous owner, Larry Ross, purchased the crate in 1990 and opened a museum on his property in Canaan, Maine, to use as a teaching tool for area youth. His focus was on introducing students to “ordinary people who do extraordinary things.”
Larry’s message, like ours, is simple: we all have the ability to do good with what we have. Read Karen Worcester’s full message about the power of purpose, the legacy of service, and the lessons behind Lindbergh Crate Day.
