Truckloads of Respect
Cherry Hill, N.J. (PRWEB) August 22, 2017 -- NFI, a leading supply chain solutions provider, has announced a partnership with Wreaths Across America (WAA), a non-profit whose mission - Remember, Honor, Teach – is carried out in part each December with the placement of veterans’ wreaths on every marker at Arlington National Cemetery, and at more than 1,300 military cemeteries nationwide.
Visit With The A-T Children's Project
On September 9, 2017, the Stonington Ride for the A-T Children's Project is planning to stop and visit the Wreaths Across America Headquarters and Museum. As part of their visit, the group will participate in our Stem to Stone Tree-Tagging program.
Driving With Purpose
As we've been showcasing our professional drivers and their companies in our "Trucking Tributes" series, we've come to understand the foundation of strong family ties, hard work ethic, patriotism and pride from which these companies have evolved as they move America, and over a million veterans' remembrance wreaths.
