Ceva enables mission to honour fallen US veterans
It has always been a dream of Morrill Worcester, founder of the USA-based non-profit organisation Wreaths Across America (WAA), to place a wreath in honour of every US veteran laid to rest around the world.
To breathe life into his dream, Ceva Logistics, for the second year in a row, has now partnered with WAA to help advance its mission to remember, honour and teach. The wreaths were placed last week-end on the headstones of 5,073 US service members in Hamm at Luxembourg American Cemetery, and of 8,291 US service members at the Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial in Margraten.
The wreaths were loaded on planes bound for Europe from the three US hubs Houston, New York City and Washington, DC. To accomplish the task, Ceva partnered with United Airlines and Cargolux. (ah)
