CHARLES TOWN, W. Va., Dec. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Highlighting its ongoing commitment to the active duty military and veterans communities, American Public University System (APUS) has expanded support of National Wreaths Across America Day this holiday season. APUS is increasing efforts by:

Coordinating the delivery of over 43,300 wreaths in seven tractor-trailer trucks to 28 sites in six states across the United States;
Donating funds to an underserved veterans' cemetery, Killeen City Cemetery, in Killeen, Texas, near Ft. Hood;
Coordinating extensive volunteer efforts for over 300 American Military University (AMU) and American Public University (APU) students, faculty, staff and alumni at 10 cemeteries.

"This meaningful event allows us to pay our respects to those who have fought to preserve our freedom," said APUS President Dr. Wade Dyke.

Rob Ahlers, President of MSR Transport Services and an AMU Ambassador, added, "We are honored to have teams driving that are so willing to put money and home-time aside to help ensure that the veterans buried across the country are not forgotten about this holiday season. We're proud to have seven driving teams delivering wreaths by travelling over 20,000 miles across the nation this year."

Over the past five years, roughly 2,800 APUS volunteers have participated in National Wreaths Across America Day, which this year takes place on Dec. 19. Last year, the AMU/MSR Transport WAA Honor Fleet drivers delivered nearly 6,200 wreaths to 15 cemeteries.

"Since becoming a national non-profit in 2007, Wreaths Across America has grown from one tractor trailer load of wreaths to Arlington to more than 600 loads of wreaths traveling to more than 2,500 participating locations this year," said Don Queeney, Director of Transportation, Wreaths Across America. "To accomplish this mission, we rely on the generosity of our partners who continue to grow with us year after year. American Public University System, in partnership with Rob Ahlers and his network of drivers, have stepped up to cover more cemeteries in New York, Texas, Florida, Georgia and Washington. We are grateful for their continued support."
