Wreaths Across America Mobile Education Exhibit National Tour
Wreaths Across America (WAA) in Joliet is proud to announce a local stop for the WAA Mobile Education Exhibit (MEE) national tour. The MEE started its tour at the WAA Headquarters in Maine and will be in the area July 6-7 for a scheduled event that is both free and open to the public. The event will take place at Stone City VFW located at 124 Stone City Drive, Joliet.
The MEE achieves this goal by bringing the local community, veterans, active-duty military and their families together through interactive exhibits, short films, and shared stories. The exhibit serves as a mobile museum, educating visitors about the service and sacrifice of our nation’s heroes, as well as serving as an official ‘welcome home’ station for our nation’s Vietnam Veterans.
The public tours for the MEE are free and open to the public. Members of the media, dignitaries, veterans, and other interested groups are urged to come, ask questions, share stories, and experience this one-of-a-kind exhibit.
You can sponsor a veteran’s wreath anytime for $17 at www.wreathsacrossamerica.org. Each sponsorship goes toward a live balsam wreath that will be placed on the headstone of an American hero as we endeavor to honor all veterans laid to rest at noon on Saturday, Dec. 14, 2024, as part of National Wreaths Across America Day.
