CLINTONVILLE, PA…. Professional Truck Driver Chuck Andrews, Owner-Operator of Harry Ball Trucking of Cleveland, Ohio and his “co-driver” dog, Lucy, aka Fluffy rolled into the parking lot of Kenworth of Pennsylvania Clintonville during a mini snow squall on December 11, 2024.

Wreaths Across America is a program that honors service members and their families by bringing together volunteers and patriots. The program involves placing wreaths at cemeteries, memorials, and historic sites, and saying the name of each service member out loud.  The 2024 theme for Wreaths Across America is "Live with Purpose". The theme is inspired by the stories of volunteers who have used adversity to live with purpose and make their communities better. 

Andrews is a very proud member of the Wreaths Across America’s Honor Fleet. He’s been a part of the WAA Campaign for over 11 years, loading up his truck’s trailer with thousands of wreaths in Maine and then delivering them to several states where volunteers will place the wreaths on graves of Veterans. Chuck Andrews donates his time, truck, fuel and all out-of-pocket expenses as part of WAA’s Honor Fleet.

Members and Volunteers from the Wreaths Across America Clintonville Charter quickly unloaded the wreaths from the back of Andrews’ trailer.  The wreaths were placed on Veterans graves at the Clintonville Methodist Cemetery on December 14th.

Chuck Andrews wanted to give a special thanks to Kenworth of Pennsylvania Clintonville General Manager Wade Calderwood for letting him bring his truck to their facility to transfer the wreaths to the WAA Clintonville Chapter.
