Wreaths have significance for holidays, warm welcomes at the front door and honoring those who have a special place in our hearts. LARSON, the leading manufacturer of storm doors in the US, has partnered with Wreaths Across America in a promotion called Wreath of Honor. Americans from every state are encouraged to submit a photo of their storm door or screen door wreath. For every submission received, LARSON will sponsor one Wreaths Across America wreath, up to 2,500 wreaths to honor the fallen.
“At LARSON, we believe that when you arrive at your front door, you should feel warm and welcomed. A small touch, like a wreath, can make each homecoming a little more special,” said Jeff Rief, president of Larson Manufacturing. “By partnering with Wreaths Across America, LARSON is honoring the men and women who serve our country, past and present, including our veteran employees and their families.”
“The Wreaths Across America mission to Remember, Honor, Teach is carried out all year long through the dedication and support of volunteers and partners all over the country,” said Karen Worcester, executive director, Wreaths Across America. “We are so grateful to Larson Manufacturing Company for joining this mission and giving back in the communities where their employees and customers live and work. Patriotism begins at home, then reaches to community and Country.”
Each December, Wreaths Across America coordinates wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as at more than 2,700 additional locations in all 50 U.S. states, at sea and abroad. They depend on citizens and businesses to donate monetary resources to handcraft all-American balsam wreaths that are placed on the marker of a fallen American hero.
In many homes, there is an empty seat for one who is serving or one who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. There is no better time to express our appreciation than during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. We hope you will join us at any of our more than 2,700 participating locations to show our veterans and their families that we will not forget.
