J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: JBHT), one of the
largest supply chain solutions providers in North America, will
conclude its participation in Wreaths Across America this year at
multiple ceremonies throughout the country on December 16,
including one at Fayetteville National Cemetery.
On Saturday, known as Wreath Across America Day, event
volunteers and the general public will join thousands nationwide in
placing wreaths on the graves of fallen service men and women. More
than 40 J.B. Hunt drivers are helping the wreaths reach their final
destinations for the nonprofit. This year, J.B. Hunt trucks are
hauling 18 loads that will transport wreaths to Arlington National
Cemetery, Fayetteville National Cemetery, Fort Leavenworth National
Cemetery, Fort Snelling National Cemetery, Fort Rosecrans National
Cemetery, Miramar National Cemetery, Golden Gate National Cemetery,
San Joaquin National Cemetery, Riverside National Cemetery, and
various other national cemeteries.
“As a supporter and advocate of the veteran community, we are
proud to take part in Wreaths Across America for the fourth
consecutive year,” said Craig Harper, executive vice president of
operations and chief operations officer at J.B. Hunt. “Many of our
employees are veterans or have family members in the service, which
makes it even more meaningful for J.B. Hunt to participate during
the holiday season.”
In addition to Saturday’s national events, J.B. Hunt drivers and
employees have participated in local memorial ceremonies along the
convoy routes. Upon arrival at the exchange points, the wreath
truck drivers exchange truck keys with the new driver, honor and
remember veterans with remarks, and depart on the next stretch of
the journey with local communities lining the exit route in
remembrance of those who served.
