COLUMBIA FALLS, Maine and LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Wreaths Across America (WAA) is celebrating 17 transportation partners reaching ten or more years of service as an “Honor Fleet” member.
“Many of our partners donating their time each year are veterans themselves, including the professional drivers hauling the loads,” said Courtney George, director of transportation and industry relations for WAA. “Professional drivers and carriers that join WAA’s Honor Fleet have the desire to do something meaningful to honor veterans and their loved ones and many say that Wreaths Across America provides a way for them to do that.”
