Hello Michael Barbour,

 

Believe it or not, we are already halfway through the year and planning for National Wreaths Across America Day 2025 is well underway! We have continued to grow, and this year, we’ll surpass the 5,000 participating locations milestone. This mean more opportunities to get involved and support the mission.

 

This is also an opportunity for us to improve communication and support for your efforts. Returning and new Honor Fleet members alike should expect to complete and onboarding process with the WAA team this year! Onboarding will include a webinar and access to professional driver resources ahead of load pick-up. Keep an eye out as we start to schedule onboarding!

 

Should you need anything, the WAA Transportation Team is always here – don’t hesitate to reach out! Thank you for your continued support, flexibility and passion for the mission.

 

With gratitude,
WAA Transportation Team

 

Your Impact

Because of you, the mission moves forward.  Hauling what is referred to as “a truckload of respect,” members of the Honor Fleet transports millions of sponsored veterans’ wreaths to locations all across the country. On National Wreaths Across America Day, these wreaths are laid on veterans’ graves.

When placing the wreath, volunteers say the name of the service member out loud, remembering and honoring their sacrifice.These wreaths could not reach their location to be placed without you!

 

Professional Driver Quick Facts

We’re looking forward to a successful season! Here are some quick facts for professional drivers and carriers to keep in mind:

 

  • In most cases, unless otherwise stated, all professional drivers participating should expect a multi-stop load when delivering veterans’ wreaths for WAA; on average, 8-12 stops.
  • Because sponsorships continue to come in right up to the last minute, final wreath counts are not available until the professional driver arrives for loading.
  • Load drops can be delivered on the route that best suits the professional driver!
  •  Don’t be surprised if volunteers at the location are full of gratitude and want to make a connection with you; YOU are valued by the local community!
