“The WAA Honor Fleet is made up of carriers and trucking professionals who go the extra mile to serve those who served us. By hauling sponsored wreaths, drivers honor veterans laid to rest, and ensure the mission to Remember, Honor and Teach reaches every community,” said Courtney George, WAA Director of Trucking and Industry Relations. “Joining the Honor Fleet means making a meaningful and lasting impact in the lives of veterans and their families.”
Transportation companies that join the Honor Fleet contribute to a deeply meaningful cause and provide professional drivers with a healing journey. For veterans and those who have lost loved ones in service to our country, this opportunity allows them to engage with grateful communities. Delivering the precious loads of sponsored veterans’ wreaths is an honor, and WAA’s dedicated volunteers ensure that all drivers are greeted with gratitude, reminding these professionals of the significance of their contribution upon arrival.
“Becoming a Wreaths Across America Honor Fleet partner is about much more than moving veterans’ wreaths,” said Graig Morin, Founder and President of Brown Dog Carriers. “It gives carriers an opportunity to engage with employees in a meaningful mission while building pride within the organization and strengthening connections in the communities you serve. Participation also provides valuable visibility for companies looking to distinguish themselves, reach potential new drivers and demonstrate their commitment to veterans, military families and the communities they call home.”
