Crowley, a maritime, energy and logistics solutions company, is expanding its support for Wreaths Across America this year through financial sponsorship and in-kind transportation and logistics services.

"Crowley greatly values the opportunity to honor veterans with Wreaths Across America. Hundreds of our employees volunteer each year, and our operations teams take special pride in providing the logistics services to deliver wreaths from Alaska to the Caribbean," said Phil Shook, senior vice president and general manager of Crowley Land Transportation Services. "It's a privilege to support this mission because we deeply value the immeasurable contributions of our veterans and active-duty service members. Our partnership with Wreaths Across America reflects our values and our commitment to using logistics for the greater good."
