Kottke Trucking through the Truckload Carriers Association was able to help Wreaths Across America. It’s a great program and this year saw over 130 truckloads of wreaths delivered for Arlington National Cemetery. Our Senior Vice President of Sales/Marketing Mike Udermann attended the gala this fall in Washington, D.C.
Udermann passed along the following note:
The Kottke Trucking box of wreaths.
WAA was able to place a wreath on every gravestone at Arlington National – it’s 150th Anniversary this year – 270,000+ grave sites of our veterans, as well as helping WAA place wreaths in over 1000 cemeteries of our military veterans across the globe – over 700,000 wreaths were placed.
As you know – this is near and dear to my heart with my son and daughter-in-law currently both serving – Matt is a Blackhawk helicopter pilot – and I personally wanted to thank you for providing me with your support for this program to help make it as successful as it was this year.
