Carriers and drivers are gearing up to deliver wreaths wreaths to be placed on the graves of veterans across the country this Saturday, Dec. 13, as part of the annual Wreaths Across America Program.
In 2013 alone, more than 500,000 wreaths were delivered to almost 900 veterans cemeteries across the United States. Since 2012, the Truckload Carriers Association has coordinated this nationwide effort of donated trucking services for the delivery of the wreaths, as well as raised money for the placement of wreaths at Arlington National Cemetery.
