Wreaths Across America Louisville, KY

 

On Thursday morning, our team in Louisville was able to attend the Wreaths Across America ceremony that was held at the Louisville Service Center. Active members of the Army, Air Force, National Guard and the KY State Police were attendance for the ceremony. Closing the ceremony a convoy led the JB Hunt truck off the yard to the interstate for the next stop in Nashville, TN. This was great event to honor our veterans.

Our mission, Remember, Honor, Teach, is carried out in part by coordinating wreath laying ceremonies a specified Saturday in December at Arlington, as well as veterans’ cemeteries and other locations in all 50 states and beyond. We also organize a week of events including international veteran’s tributes, ceremonies at State Houses and a week-long “Veteran’s Parade” between Maine and Virginia where we stop along the way to spread our message about the importance of remembering our fallen heroes, honoring those who serve, and teaching our children about the sacrifices made by veterans and their families to preserve our freedoms.

This week of events is made possible by thousands of volunteers who organize local ceremonies, raise funds to sponsor wreaths, and participate in the events. We receive no government funding. The cost of our programs is paid by individual wreaths sponsors, corporate donorsand volunteer truckers.
We also coordinate veteran services and recognition through a variety of programs, and provide schools with teaching aides for projects throughout the year.
