REMEMBER the Fallen. . . HONOR those who Serve. . . TEACH our children the value of Freedom.

Welcome to the IA0057 - WAA - RSM US LLP, Des Moines IA's Wreaths Across America Page. 

On December 14, 2024 at 11:00 am, IA0057 - WAA - RSM US LLP, Des Moines IA will be helping Iowa Veterans Cemetery to Remember and Honor our veterans by laying Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes.

When you think of the United States military's characteristics you might think of being trustworthy and honorable, showing willingness and determination, and exhibiting expertise and teamwork. These characteristics fall in alignment with RSM's 5 C's. However, in Des Moines, our CARING is second to none and what better way to show that then by partnering with Wreaths Across America. 

Please help us honor and remember as many fallen heroes as possible by sponsoring remembrance wreaths, volunteering before, on or after Wreaths Day, and/or inviting your family and friends to attend with you.

Thank you so much for supporting the IA0057 - WAA - RSM US LLP, Des Moines IA and Wreaths Across America!
