Wreaths Across America

A Commitment to Remember, Honor, and Teach
The NSCDA-OR’s participation in Wreaths Across America aligns perfectly with its mission to promote historic preservation, patriotism, and education. By joining forces with this national initiative, the Colonial Dames underscore their commitment to remembering those who gave their lives in service, honoring those who continue to serve, and teaching future generations about the value of sacrifice and duty.
Wreaths Across America’s motto, “Remember. Honor. Teach.,” resonates deeply with the NSCDA-OR. Each wreath placed is not just a decoration but a symbol of gratitude and a promise to keep the legacy of our veterans alive.
Educating Future Generations
In addition to honoring veterans, the NSCDA-OR used the event as an opportunity to engage with younger generations. Scouts, students, and youth groups were invited to participate, learning firsthand about the importance of service and remembrance. This intergenerational approach ensures that the stories of our veterans are passed down and that their sacrifices are never forgotten.
Looking Ahead
As The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the State of Oregon continues its work, events like Wreaths Across America remain central to its mission. By participating in this meaningful tradition, the NSCDA-OR not only honors the past but inspires hope for the future, fostering a deeper appreciation for the values that unite us as a nation.
