A Decade of Dedication: Jetco's Journey with Wreaths Across America

By Brooke Beall

 For ten years, the team at Jetco has been participating in Wreaths Across America, a nationwide initiative that delivers Christmas remembrance wreaths to the final resting places of military veterans.

This year's participation holds a special place in Jetco's heart, as it marks a decade of dedication to honoring the brave men and women who have served our nation. As the holiday season approached, the anticipation at Jetco grew, knowing they were about to embark on a heartfelt journey.

At the center of this annual tradition is Christhiam Reyes, a professional driver at Jetco. For the third year in a row, Reyes volunteered for the opportunity to transport the wreaths from their origin in Maine to Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C. His commitment reflects the essence of the season – giving back and remembering those who have sacrificed for our freedom.

In the simple act of placing wreaths on the graves of the fallen, Jetco and Reyes, along with countless volunteers nationwide, contribute to a profound narrative. It's a narrative that goes beyond the holiday season, echoing the sentiment that every day is an opportunity to honor and remember those who have given everything for our freedom.

As the wreaths found their place, gently adorning the headstones, the message was clear – a nation remembers, a community cares, and a company like Jetco embodies the spirit of giving back. This holiday season, as we gather with our loved ones, let's take a moment to reflect on the simple wreaths that carry a profound story of remembrance and honor.
