This December, communities across the country will come together to Remember, Honor and Teach through Wreaths Across America.

Each wreath placed represents more than a tradition — it is a moment to remember the men and women who served our country, honor their sacrifices, and help ensure their stories are carried forward.

We encourage our members, industry partners and communities to learn more about Wreaths Across America, sponsor a wreath, volunteer, or participate in a local ceremony.

🇺🇸 Remember the fallen. Honor those who serve. Teach the next generation the value of freedom.

Wreaths Across America ("WAA") coordinates wreath-laying ceremonies every December to "Remember, Honor, and Teach" about the sacrifices made by our veterans and their families. Please check out this page to learn how you can help by sponsoring Veterans Remembrance Wreaths or by joining us on Decembe...

"🚛 ↪️ Why is that truck moving left when its right turn signal is on?

Large trucks need additional room to make turns and may swing wide before completing them.

For new drivers, there's one particularly important rule:

Never try to squeeze between a turning truck and the curb.

Learn more about safely navigating around large trucks in the NDMCA Teen Driving Center.

"🛑 Your car can stop faster than a fully loaded truck.

Large trucks need more time and distance to slow down or stop.

That's why one of the most important lessons for new drivers is simple:

Don't cut closely in front of a truck after passing. Give them room.

"🚛 Can the truck driver see you?

Large trucks have significant blind spots around the front, back and sides of the vehicle.

One simple rule for new drivers:

If you can't see the truck driver in the truck's mirror, don't assume the driver can see you.

Learn where a truck's blind spots are — and how to safely navigate around them — through the NDMCA Teen Driving Center.

Parents: Share this with your teen and see how much they know about a truck's blind spots.

The NDMCA Teen Driving Center provides interactive resources you can explore together, including:

🚛 Understanding a truck’s blind spots
🛑 Why trucks need more room to stop
↪️ How to safely navigate around wide turns
