Wreaths Across America

That one goes, that is our designated QR for our squadron that goes to our cemetery.

But all your donations still go through Race Across America.

So there is no third party.

There is no, e-blast of junk mail after you do that.

Stacey, I'll tell you, I'll tell you a funny one.

So you know, we were talking prior to the show with Romil a little bit and talking about his New Jersey accent, and last year his charity was called Wreaths Across America.

Yes.

Wreaths?

And, and-

Wreaths Across America?

Wreaths.

Wreaths.

She's here for all, uh, uh, so many things, uh, community events.

And, uh, we're here also with Tasha Anderson and Jessica Garrett with The Trenches Collective, and this group has all come together to bring back the Wreaths Across America efforts that kinda went away for a year, uh, while everyone was just looking for, uh, people to take the reins and kind of, uh, dive into, uh, making sure that we continue that tradition, uh, to, uh, honor the fallen and honor the, uh, the veterans that are at, uh, Mount Hope Cemetery here in Lander, Wyoming.

We've got some important dates to talk about, uh, as well.

December 19th is the day of the Wreaths Across America event, but they have a date where they want all the orders to come in by, and they're looking for volunteers, uh, looking for people willing to help out.

We're gonna chat about all of that today, and I figure we can just kinda dive right into it.

Uh, Ms. Janet, here, you've always got, uh, all the knowledge on the history of, uh, Wreaths Across America.

I gave just a little sample of it, but, uh, for our listeners who don't know, what, what is Wreaths Across America?

Okay.

Yes, that's right.

So this week, the national nonprofit group Wreaths Across America kicked off the 2026 wreath season with a call for carriers and professional truck drivers to join their annual convoy honoring veterans nationwide this December.

Carriers and drivers are asked to join the honor fleet, as it's known, to haul wreaths for placement on National Wreaths Across America Day, which is happening Saturday, December 19th this year.

Those wreaths will be placed at more than 6,000 locations, including Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.

And WAA has added 30 lanes this year for a total of 730 lanes available nationwide.

Individual trucks will set off on their journeys during that time as well, and they'll be met by volunteers who will help lay the wreaths at the other locations.

And as I said, this week's announcement was a call for transportation companies to join the effort.

Carriers and drivers can do that by visiting the Wreaths Across America website to find open lanes.
