Wreaths Across America (WAA) proudly announces a significant collaboration with the Military Order of the World Wars (MOWW), cementing a partnership aimed at upholding the legacies of veterans and fostering national unity.

Since its inception in 2007, WAA has been synonymous with its annual wreath-laying ceremonies, honoring veterans each December. However, its commitment to Remember, Honor, and Teach extends beyond a single day, with over 4,220 participating locations nationwide engaging volunteers in educational initiatives and sharing stories of service and sacrifice year-round.

Dating back to 1918, MOWW was founded by U.S. military officers seeking to continue their service beyond the battlefield. Over a century later, MOWW remains steadfast in its dedication to patriotism, good citizenship, and national security, while also prioritizing youth leadership and veteran support.

Karen Worcester, executive director of Wreaths Across America, expressed the significance of the partnership: “The collaboration between Wreaths Across America and the Military Order of the World Wars represents our collective commitment to honoring our nation’s heroes. Together, we will continue to inspire patriotism and pay tribute to those who have served.”

Echoing Worcester's sentiments, MOWW’s leadership emphasized the importance of joining forces to advance shared values and objectives. “Our alliance with Wreaths Across America embodies a powerful unity of purpose,” said BG Victor S. Perez, U.S. Army (ret), Commander-In-Chief, MOWW. “By honoring veterans and promoting responsible citizenship, we uphold the ideals that define our nation.”

The signed MOU between WAA and MOWW signifies a shared commitment to engage members and volunteers in joint community service activities to raise awareness for their respective missions. Through this collaboration, MOWW will extend its support to WAA’s Group Sponsorship Program, amplifying efforts to honor veterans and educate future generations. Additionally, WAA will feature MOWW’s programs and members on Wreaths Across America Radio, further enhancing visibility and support.

The partnership between Wreaths Across America and the Military Order of the World Wars marks a significant step forward in preserving the legacies of veterans and fostering a sense of national unity. Together, they will continue to honor the sacrifices of those who have served and inspire generations to come.
