Couple quick updates:
The wreaths have come in and are available from admin department for $30. They are great on the front of your truck or at home. For everyone you buy...one matching wreath is donated to be placed on a headstone at Arlington. As well $5 will be donated to Wreaths Across America to help support the charity.
Also we will have buses that the company is providing leaving the terminal at 730 am sharp on the morning of Dec 17th to go Michigan National Cemetery in Holly Michigan. We will meet one of the Load One Patriot trailers being driven this year by our own
Dennis James Olson in memory of Ken Johnson who we sadly lost this year. Ken and Dennis have run wreaths and the Patriot Trailers side by side for a number of years. We will then participate in the ceremonies and place the wreaths on the graves of our American heroes.
If you and your family would like to attend please email
[email protected] or let Becky know. We just need to get a rough idea and I realize OTR drivers may not know if they will be here. If you are here we will make room for you! It is an amazing tribute and event.
I am proud that this year we will have two Load One trucks at Arlington National Cemetery as well. Long time owner operator
Torey Alexanderand fleet drivers
Michael Deede and
Heather Deede will piloting those units. Tory will be stopping at Fleet One/Wex HQ for an event featuring one of our Patriot trailers. The Deedes will be taking part in the week long convoy from Maine to Arlington.
