Wreaths Across America Radio is the Official Radio Station for the Hometown of a National Hero
Wreaths Across America Radio is a full-time internet radio station that broadcasts a variety of music, news, and stories regarding American veterans, their families, and the ongoing community work of Wreaths Across America and its local volunteers. Now through National Wreaths Across America Day on December 16, 2023, Wreaths Across America Radio is the Official Radio Station of Farmersville, Texas, home to Audie Murphy. Farmersville Mayor Bryon Wiebold issued the proclamation on September 12, 2023.
Farmersville, Texas, is the hometown of World War II’s most decorated combat soldier, Audie Murphy. Murphy served in Africa and Europe, earning every medal of valor available from the United States Army and honors from France and Belgium. At 19 years old, Murphy received the Medal of Honor for single-handedly holding off a company of German soldiers for more than an hour, eventually leading a successful counterattack. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery with full honors. Farmersville celebrates Murphy and veterans yearly during “Audie Murphy Day,” which includes a roll call of local veterans, military exhibits and a parade.
“Wreaths Across America embodies patriotism and American Pride,” said Bryon Wiebold, Mayor of Farmersville, Texas. “When Wreaths Across America Radio approached me about being the official radio station of Audie’s hometown through Wreaths Across America Day, it was an absolute yes. The patriotism, helpful information for our veterans, and how Wreaths Across America Radio honors our veterans make the station a great fit for us here in Farmersville.”

Wreath Sponsorship
California |173809|
Did you know that Wreaths Across America now offers recurring sponsorships? You can select the occurrence and cancel or pause anytime! Register now by completing this form! (https://tinyurl.com/n735zrbr)
What does it mean to sponsor a wreath? It means you are supporting a yearlong mission to Remember the fallen, Honor those that serve and Teach the next generation the value of freedom. Your sponsorship will support the new and existing programs developed to share the mission. And, it will place a wreath to honor an American hero at one of more than 3,700 participating locations this year on National Wreaths Across America Day – a day set aside to lay gathers as Americans with the same goal.
We can’t do that without your support, though. Your sponsorship will ensure that a wreath is hand-crafted of all-American balsam and hand-tied with a red velvet bow here in Columbia Falls, Maine. It will then be sent to one of our participating locations, where a volunteer will place it on the marker of a hero. That volunteer will then “say their name” to ensure that the legacy of duty, service and sacrifice is never forgotten.
So, what does it mean to sponsor a wreath? It means you have the opportunity to join a grateful nation in saying “thank you” to those who stepped up to serve.
*Please Note: Specific locations designated as "ceremonial-only" accept a limited number of sponsorships. Any additional sponsorships received beyond those used for the ceremony will be distributed to other locations.
