Beaufort County Veterans Affairs in partnership with Wreaths Across America Beaufort is proud to announce a local stop for the Wreaths Across America Mobile Education Exhibit (MEE) National Tour.
The Mobile Education Exhibit will be in town on Friday, March 15th, from 10am until 1pm, at Mossy Oaks Elementary School, located at 2510 Mossy Oaks Road in the city of Beaufort.
It’s free and open to the public.
The Exhibit will be parked right on Mossy Oaks Road in front of Mossy Oaks Elementary School so students from Beaufort Middle School across the street will be able to visit and learn as well.
“The goal of the Wreaths Across America Mobile Education Exhibit is to bring community together and teach patriotism while remembering the service and sacrifice of our nation’s heroes,” said Karen Worcester, Executive Director, Wreaths Across America.
The Mobile Education Exhibit 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 to serve as an official ‘welcome home’ station for our nation’s Vietnam Veterans. Learn more here.
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, members of government, veterans and other interested groups are urged to come, ask questions, share stories and experience this one-of-a-kind exhibit.
Wreaths Across America is the non-profit organization best known for placing wreaths on veteran’s headstones at Arlington National Cemetery. However, in 2021, the organization placed more than 2.4 million sponsored veterans’ wreaths at more than 3,100 participating locations nationwide.
Throughout the calendar year you can tune in to Wreaths Across America Radio, 24/7, to learn more about the mission and those who support it across the country, as well as the hundreds of local charitable efforts nationwide that are funded through the Group Sponsorship Program.
