REMEMBER the Fallen. . . HONOR those who Serve. . . TEACH our children the value of Freedom.
Earlier today members of Branch 25 attended the annual Wreaths Across America event at the San Francisco National Cemetery at the Presidio. Our US Navy Sea Cadet Corps – Arkansas Division participated in the event. Below are some pictures that members took, as well as some we found online, and some video from the event.

One moving aspect of the Wreaths Across America mission is the contribution of our nation’s trucking industry. As you read, over 700 trucks are traveling to and from Maine to ensure the delivery of sponsored veterans’ wreaths. All those miles, over 1 million, are donated by each trucking company.
Another moving revelation comes from drivers who realize their actual cargo is not only wreaths but really honor and respect for our fallen heroes. For that reason, we work with these drivers to safely load their trucks with as many wreaths as possible.
If you are receiving this message, space exists on trucks headed to your area. Please help us fill these trucks by taking one of the following actions:
For You to Share
Quick Sponsorship
Sponsorships, Gifts and More
Please remember, if we run out of space to ship a wreath to the location you support, the location coordinator may redirect your wreaths to another location in need or save it for next year.
Finally, we’ve included below some of our favorite photos that will give you a feel for the dramatic contribution of our truckers.
Thank you so much for helping us fill our trucks!
