COLUMBIA FALLS, ME  — Professional drivers, carriers and transportation partners are needed to join an elite group of volunteers known as Wreaths Across America’s Honor Fleet. Members help deliver live, balsam veterans’ wreaths to communities where volunteers will place them on the headstones of American heroes on National Wreaths Across America Day – this year on Saturday, December 16, 2023.

This year, Wreaths Across America (WAA) transportation partners will move over 600 loads of sponsored wreaths to more than 4,000 participating locations nationwide. In total, the Honor Fleet will haul close to three million veterans’ wreaths to their destination, where each will recognize a servicemember for their service and sacrifices for our freedom.

“With the help of our volunteer transportation partners, in 2022, more than 567 truckloads of veterans’ wreaths were delivered across the country by hundreds of volunteer professional truck drivers,” said Courtney George, WAA Manager of Transportation and Industry Relations. “We are immensely grateful for the support of our Honor Fleet carriers who are taking the opportunity to give back in recognition of the sacrifice our veterans make, and because of their support, we can fulfill our mission.”
