Welcome to IN0127 - Heritage Environmental Services's Wreaths Across America Page.
In December of 2024, Heritage Transport will be sending two trucks to Maine to participate with the WAA Honor Fleet. Our drivers will pick up full loads of wreaths and start their journey home. One will complete smaller 'less than load' deliveries on its way and then meet up with the second full truck to deliver the balance to Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery to Joliet, IL (near Chicago).
Our company continues to encourage the sponsorship of wreaths and eventually hope to grow our fundraising effort to cover the costs of the wreaths we transport! Our employees will be participating in wreath laying near their homes in at least 6 locations (see our sponsored locations). The wreaths we purchase are being directed for delivery to a combination of these locations.
Please help us honor and remember as many fallen heroes as possible by sponsoring remembrance wreaths, volunteering on Wreaths Day, or inviting your family and friends to attend with you.
Thank you so much for supporting IN0127 - Heritage Environmental Services and Wreaths Across America!
