Wreaths Across America Radio a Gift for Military Members STATEWIDE During this year’s season of hope and giving, Wreaths Across America Radio (WAAR) invites our troops from across the country and overseas, as well as their loved ones at home, to send a holiday greeting to one another in the form of an internet radio greeting. Titled, the “Remembrance Ring” program, it will provide American military families the opportunity to extend holiday greetings and thanks to service members and veterans through Wreaths Across America Radio.
Wreaths Across America Radio is a stream you can listen to anywhere, 24/7 at www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/radio, and via the iHeart Radio app, or download it at the App Store or on Google (hashtag #Wreath-
sRadio.) Last year the program connected many families from all over the globe. “The United States currently has 1.3 million active duty members, reservists and guards serving within our borders and
abroad. Additionally, more than 24 million veterans have faithfully served our country in the past,” said Karen Worcester, Wreaths Across America Executive Director. “I am honored and thrilled to be able to offer these soldiers and their families the opportunity to share their Holiday greeting. The Remembrance Ring is a wonderful gift to give and is especially important for sharing love and support for their sacrifices at this special time of the year.” Anyone can participate by calling 1-888-348-3352 to record a short holiday greeting. WAAR
will play that message on-air during the holidays to help bring families, loved ones, members of our military, and American’s closer together for the holiday season. These special Messages will be broadcast between November 22 and December 31. Readers can sponsor a wreath for $15 at www.wreathsacrossamerica.org. Each sponsorship goes toward a fresh balsam veteran’s wreath that will be placed on the headstone of an American hero on Saturday, December 18, as part of National Wreaths Across America Day.
