Wreaths Across America's "Trucking Tributes" Presents the Honor Trailer up for Bid
It would be an incredible honor for any company to service their customers with this beautifully wrapped trailer, and they can ask an employee who is a veteran to haul America's respect.
Wreaths Across America's "Trucking Tributes" Presents the Honor Trailer up for Bid
The first time anyone saw the Wreaths Across America Honor Trailer was during the Annual Wreath Escort to Arlington National Cemetery last December. Wreaths Across America ran a contest to nominate an Honor Truck Driver. Steve and his wife drove the Honor Trailer filled with veterans’ wreaths destined for the headstones of our fallen and it was an experience of a lifetime for them both.
The Honor Trailer was donated by Contract Leasing Corporation, or CLC, and Executive Vice President Brent Russell explains his passion for the Wreaths Across America mission to remember, honor and teach.
"I have an 18-year-old son who aspires to be a Marine and a brother who serves in the U.S. Air Force. I've always raised our children and our family to respect our country, respect our flag, and respect our veterans."
After last year’s escort, it was decided the Honor Trailer should have a special mission for 2019 and that is to help CLC raise more money to sponsor veterans’ wreaths to honor more fallen U.S. service veterans where ever they may be laid to rest around the world.
The Honor Trailer is now up for bid and the bidding is open through April 15, 2019.
“We launched the bidding process on Valentine’s Day this year because we thought that was a fitting day to show our love for our veterans,” Brent explained. “We already have an opening bid of $4,500.00.”
You can hear more from Brent about CLC and the company’s involvement with Wreaths Across America on “Trucking Tributes” exclusively on Wreaths Across America Radio Tuesday at 11:00 AM and again at 4:00 PM EST.

What does it mean to sponsor a wreath? It means you are supporting a yearlong mission to Remember the fallen, Honor those who 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 a hand-crafted wreath 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.
