Fourth Graders at Fairview School Make a Difference for Deployed Soldiers
One of the fourth graders in the crowd, Lizzy Wittmer, said she knows the sacrifices of being a military family all too well. Her father serves in the Army. Lizzy told us what she thought of collecting supplies and making cards for our troops. She said, “I feel good, and I know it’s going to help people, because after I was born my dad had to go to Afghanistan for a year. This helps them to survive and be happy.”

When We Teach Them, They Pay It Forward
Wreaths Across America has thousands of volunteers around the world, and many of them are young people. That makes the mission to remember, honor and teach that much more gratifying for all involved. When we show them by example and involvement, they will pay it forward just as Jordan Codispoti of New Jersey is doing.
