Mohawk Participates In Wreaths Across America

Each year, Mohawk Industries celebrates National Wreaths Across America Day in December. The organization’s mission – “Remember the fallen, Honor those that serve, Teach the next generation the value of freedom – is carried out, in part, each year by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies in December at thousands of participating locations in all 50 states and beyond.” In preparation for this day, Mohawk drivers help transport wreaths from Maine to national cemeteries across the U.S. in support of Wreaths Across America. This year, Mohawk Drivers are transporting loads to cemeteries, including Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery, Chattanooga National Cemetery, Knoxville National Cemetery, and Arlington National Cemetery. Mohawk also had an incredible honor to transport a load of wreaths to Arlington National for the first time.
