Each December, National Wreaths Across America Day unites millions of volunteers to honor our nation’s veterans. Penske was proud to participate again this year, supporting remembrance ceremonies and wreath-laying events at military cemeteries, memorials and historic sites across the country.

Associates and their families joined local wreath-laying ceremonies nationwide, including events at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia; Fort Indiantown Gap National Cemetery in Annville, Pennsylvania; Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery in St. Louis, Missouri; Raleigh National Cemetery in Raleigh, North Carolina; and historic sites in Chester, Virginia.

In St. Louis, Penske associate Kimberlee Sexton placed a wreath at her father’s gravesite at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery — a personal tribute that reflected the day’s deeper meaning.

Additionally, Epes Transport, a Penske Company, played an essential role by providing two trucks and two drivers to deliver wreaths to Arlington, Virginia, and Raleigh, North Carolina, helping ensure thousands of wreaths reached their destination.

Wreaths Across America, a nonprofit organization founded in 1992, began with a single act of gratitude and has grown into a nationwide movement dedicated to remembering fallen heroes, honoring those who serve and teaching future generations the value of freedom.

This year, Penske associates once again demonstrated pride, unity and gratitude, reinforcing our ongoing commitment to service, supporting veterans and making a meaningful difference within the communities we proudly call home.
