Welcome to the WV0077 - Motown Marines's Wreaths Across America Page.
On December 14, 2024 at 12:00 pm, WV0077 - Motown Marines will be helping West Virginia National Cemetery and Grafton National Cemetery to Remember and Honor our veterans by laying Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes.
As we gather this year to honor and remember our fallen heroes through the beauty of wreaths, we extend our deepest thanks to the unsung heroes behind the scenes – our incredible corporate sponsors and dedicated groups who make the Wreaths Across America mission possible.
To each corporate sponsor, you are the backbone of our cause, standing tall with unwavering support. Your commitment to honoring the memory of our servicemen and women is a beacon of hope, casting a light that reaches far beyond the wreaths adorning their resting places.
To the countless groups that rally together, your collective efforts breathe life into the noble mission of Wreaths Across America. Your passion and dedication amplify the resonance of remembrance, ensuring that no hero is forgotten.
In this season of giving, we want to express our heartfelt appreciation to all who contribute time, resources, and love to make this initiative a reality. Together, we weave a tapestry of gratitude that blankets the final resting places of those who gave their all.
May the spirit of giving and remembrance continue to flourish, guided by the generosity of our corporate sponsors and the tireless efforts of the groups who stand with us. Thank you for making a difference and helping us carry out the mission of Wreaths Across America.
