Crowley Honors Military Through Wreaths Across America Sponsorship
Summary
Crowley will continue to honor U.S. military members and veterans during this holiday season by donating transportation and logistics services to Wreaths Across America (WAA). As a part of Crowley’s support, valued at more than $40,000, the company will provide ground and ocean transportation for thousands of wreaths headed to Puerto Rico to be laid at the graves of service members at the island’s national cemetery in Bayamón as well as the Atlantic Gardens Veterans Cemetery in Aguadilla. “Our partnership with Wreaths Across America represents our appreciation and recognition of the valor of military service members here and abroad, both past and present,” said Shiju Zacharia, senior vice president and general manager, Crowley Solutions, the company’s government services business unit. Formed in 2007, Wreaths Across America carries out its mission to “remember, honor and teach” in part by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies at veterans’ cemeteries and other locations throughout all 50 states. “Through their continued commitment to helping us move the mission, service members laid to rest in Puerto Rico will be honored this year with the placement of a veteran’s wreath and their name said out loud, keeping their memory alive.” Members of the community and business partners may contribute to Wreaths Across America by visiting this page: http://www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/crowley.
