Our chapter supports Wreaths Across America, a nonprofit organization that primarily distributes wreaths for placement on graves in military cemeteries. National Wreaths Across America Days have been designated on the second or third Saturday of each December. Members donate funds for the project and volunteer at local cemeteries to place the wreaths on graves.
A WAA Mobile Education Unit often tours the area. It’s really a museum on wheels, honoring our nation’s veterans. More recently, it serves as a “welcome home” station for our Vietnam Veterans. It brings local community, veterans, active-duty military, and their families together in an educational opportunity year around.
