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

Welcome to the Heroes in Transition (HIT) Wreaths Across America Page. On December 14, 2024, at 12:00 pm, HIT will be helping to Remember and Honor our veterans by laying veterans’ wreaths on the graves of our country’s military members. For each $17 wreath sponsored through this Group, $5 will be returned to HIT to help us in our mission to assist veterans, service members and their families not readily available from government agencies or other providers. This assistance strengthens relationships, builds community, empowers individuals and provides a pathway to healing for those we serve. HIT improves quality of life, communication, and resiliency skills through responsible and professional leadership and partnership with others.
