Wreaths Across America has announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Military Order of the World Wars, strengthening a partnership aimed at bolstering support for veterans and their families across the nation.
Established in 2007, Wreaths Across America has become synonymous with its annual ceremonies held each December. The mission is to remember the fallen, honor those who serve, and teach the next generation the value of freedom — regardless of the day.
There are now participating locations in more than 4,000 communities nationwide, as volunteers take part in educational initiatives, while sharing veteran stories of service and sacrifice.
The Military Order of the World Wars, meanwhile, traces its roots back to 1918 — when returning U.S. military officers sought to continue their service and camaraderie beyond the battlefield.
Incorporated in 1919 as the American Officers of the Great War, the group upholds commitments to patriotism, good citizenship, and national security.
The signed understanding highlights a commitment to engage members and volunteers in joint community service activities to raise awareness for their respective missions.
Through this collaboration, each organization will share the other’s plans in monthly updates.
