Hello,

We hope you’ve had a wonderful summer. National Wreaths Across America Day is fast approaching! With over 5,000 participating locations, there’s a lot of preparation to come.

We are ready to begin our new onboarding process! Returning and new Honor Fleet members alike must attend one of three, short webinars. In this webinar, you’ll learn more about the mission, your role, and logistics necessary for a successful season. Please select a webinar date and time below and register today!

Preliminary Load Confirmations (PLC) have been sent out. In order to keep the same load(s) from last year, you must email back to the signed PLC by September 8, or it will go on the open load list for other carriers to choose.

We’d like to remind you to whitelist us! Please add trucking@wreathsacrossamerica.org to your list of approved/trusted senders in your email. You may have to work with your company’s IT team to do so. Once whitelisted, our emails won’t end up in spam, so you won’t miss out on important updates as the season ramps up.

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

Webinars

Please attend one of three webinars as part of our new onboarding process. Whether you’re a returning partner or it’s your first season, we have new information to share with you. Please click the button below to choose your session.

Your Impact

Because of you, the mission moves forward. Hauling what is referred to as “a truckload of respect,” members of the Honor Fleet transport 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!

Dear Michael Barbour,

I hope you received your copy of Wreaths Across America’s summer newsletter. It should have arrived within the last few weeks.

And I hope you were inspired reading about the impact you can make through WAA’s Sponsorship Group Program. Through this program, Wreaths Across America partners with nonprofits and veteran service organizations across the U.S. in supporting our nation’s heroes and thanking them for their service. And it’s only possible with the support of friends like you.

This month, we’re celebrating Giving in July. Through our Sponsorship Group Program, you can select a registered group(s) to support. For every $17 wreath sponsorship that you make through these groups, $5 will either be given back to use for their own program that provides healing, connection, and support for veterans, service members, and their families, or $5 will go forward to the sponsorship of another veteran’s wreath for placement this December. Either way, you are giving back to a local group making a difference.

Will you join us?

I know that together, we can do even more to help our veterans, active service members, and military families keep moving forward.

Best regards,

Karen Worcester

Executive Director

Wreaths Across America

As we start Memorial Day weekend, we are surrounded by reminders to honor those who gave their lives in service to our country. At Wreaths Across America, these reminders are not seasonal—they are part of our daily mission to Remember, Honor and Teach.

Remember And Honor This Memorial Day Weekend

This Memorial Day weekend, please join us as we Remember, Honor, and Teach about those who have served and sacrificed for our freedoms.

Remembrance Tree Program

Wreaths Across America established the Remembrance Tree Program to create living memorials for veterans. This program is FREE and open to all families who have or have had a loved one in the military. Click here to learn more.

Virtual “Remember Wall”
