Penske Proudly Supports Wreaths Across America to Honor and Remember Veterans
Wreaths Across America, a nonprofit organization founded in 1992, began with a single act of gratitude and has grown into a nationwide movement. Its mission is simple, yet powerful: remember the fallen, honor those who serve, and teach future generations the value of freedom. Each December, National Wreaths Across America Day brings together millions of volunteers to place remembrance wreaths on veterans’ graves at military cemeteries, memorials, and historic sites.
This year, the event took place on Saturday, December 14, 2024, when over three million wreaths were placed to ensure no veteran was forgotten. Penske was honored to support this initiative, with our associates and their families volunteering in local wreath-laying ceremonies. By remembering, honoring, and teaching, we paid tribute to the sacrifices of our veterans, reflecting our dedication to those who have served and ensuring their stories inspire future generations to value and protect the freedoms they defended.

"It’s always a humbling experience to visit here, but this event was especially meaningful," Stefanik shared. "I’m honored to work for a company that truly values and supports our veterans and service members."
