Wreaths Across America’s Mobile Education Exhibit Will Visit Central PA to Honor Veterans and Supporters

Wreaths Across America (WAA) is the organization most recognized for placing over three million veterans’ wreaths at over 4,909 locations nationally and abroad on National Wreaths Across America Day. However, the work to recognize our nation’s veterans, military families, active duty servicemembers is a yearlong effort. WAA is proud to announce that as part of its yearlong mission to Remember the fallen, Honor those who serve and their families, and Teach the next generation the value of freedom, its Mobile Education Exhibit (MEE) will make a stop in multiple towns on June 17-June 29, 2025 to share this mission with the community.

The stops will take place at:
– Wednesday, June 18th, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., American Legion Post 104, 1312 Broad St., Montoursville
– Friday, June 20th, 1-7 p.m., Waltmart, Montoursville
– Sunday, June 22nd, 1-7 p.m., Gamble Farm Inn, Jersey Shore
– Wednesday, June 25th, 1-7 p.m., Hampton Inn, 140 Via Bella St. Williamsport
– Friday, June 27th, 1-7 p.m., Muncy Legion Post 268, 515 Legion Rd., Muncy
– Satuday, June 28th, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Post 251, 185 Broad St., Montgomery
– Sunday, June 29th, 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Sam’s Club, Muncy

The MEE will be free and open to the public locally .

“The mission of Wreaths Across America is to Remember the fallen, Honor those who have served and their families, and teach the next generation the value of freedom,” said Karen Worcester, Executive Director. “The Mobile Education Exhibit provides the unique opportunity for communities to come together and share the stories of those who served and sacrificed. Through our partnership with the United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration, the Exhibit also serves as an official ‘Welcome Home’ location for our nation’s Vietnam Veterans.”

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.

When the MEE pulls into the area, all veterans, active-duty military, their families, and the local community members are invited and encouraged to visit, take a tour, and speak with WAA representatives and volunteers. They can also share more about the national nonprofit, and the work its volunteers do to support our heroes and their communities year-round. 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 to support the local WAA program at for $17 at http://www.wreathacrossamerica.org/PA0586. 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 on Saturday, December 13, 2025, as part of National Wreaths Across America Day.
