Remembering, Honoring, Teaching: Partnering for a Purpose with Wreaths Across America

Karen Worcester tells the story of Wreaths Across America and their year-long mission: REMEMBER the fallen, HONOR those who served, and TEACH the next generation the value of freedom. Hear how one small act of patriotism by Karen and her family grew into a cultural movement with millions of volunteers across the country culminating in National Wreaths Across America Day. Karen and Jim discuss the impact this tradition has on communities, the importance of teaching younger generations about the sacrifices made by veterans, and how 1-800-Flowers.com is partnering with Wreaths Across America to help spread their mission further.   If you would like to donate a wreath, please visit www.1800flowers.com/WAA   New podcast episodes released weekly on Thursday.
