Honoring our U.S. military and their families is important all year round, but during the holidays, there is a special significance to remembering their incredible service and sacrifice.
CRST is proud to sponsor and partner with Wreaths Across America (WAA), an organization that places more than three million wreaths on the headstones of fallen U.S. military members in more than 4,225 locations across the country each year. This simple yet meaningful symbol is a part of WAA’s mission to remember the fallen, honor their service, and teach the value of freedom to the next generation.
In addition to corporate sponsorship of WAA, six CRST drivers are currently supporting wreath placements for the organization this year:
- Reggie Leary
- Jim Nalin
- Joseph Clingingsmith
- Edgar Ayer
- Zeth Paco
- Nicholas Paco
