Each year, our group has the privilege of volunteering with Wreaths Across America, a national effort dedicated to remembering the fallen, honoring those who serve, and teaching future generations the value of freedom.
Participating in this event is a powerful and humbling experience. Standing among the headstones, placing wreaths, and speaking names aloud serves as a solemn reminder that each marker represents a life of service, sacrifice, and commitment. These moments of reflection reinforce the importance of gratitude, respect and values that align closely with the work we do every day.
This year, it was especially meaningful to see so many colleagues volunteering alongside our little group. Seeing VA employees present in service, outside of the workplace, was a powerful reminder of the compassion, dedication, and integrity that define our workforce. In ways both large and small, the care shown during this event mirrors the commitment our Veterans experience through your daily work.
We return year after year because remembrance matters. Honoring service matters. And these shared moments remind us why our mission is so important.
Thank you to all who have served, all who continue to serve, and to everyone who helps ensure their legacy is honored and never forgotten. It is truly an honor to stand in remembrance together.
Can’t wait to see you again next year! Don’t forget to donate a wreath or two to our fallen Veterans!
A big thank you to our VA staff volunteers: Terri, Mitch, Erica, Miranda, and Jase!
