RECOGNIZING TENNANT TRUCK LINES FOR ITS PARTICIPATION IN WREATHS ACROSS 
                                AMERICA

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, January 6, 2015

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the work of 
Tennant Truck Lines of Colona, Illinois. For the last five years, 
Tennant Truck Lines has participated in the Wreaths Across America 
program, which honors veterans by coordinating wreath laying ceremonies 
throughout all 50 states.
   I had the honor of participating in the Wreaths Across America 
ceremony on December 13, 2014, at the Rock Island National Cemetery, in 
my home district in Illinois. This was the 10th Wreaths Across America 
ceremony held at the Cemetery, one of thousands of ceremonies held 
across the nation.
   Tennant Truck Lines played a vital role in transporting wreaths, 
volunteering their trucks and manpower to move 3,072 wreaths to over 
900 veteran ceremonies by December 13. Two trucks from Tennant Truck 
Lines drove all the way to Arlington National Cemetery, and many more 
played a vital role in transporting wreaths within the Midwest as they 
traveled from Maine to California.
   Mr. Speaker, I am extremely proud of the work Tennant Truck Lines 
and CEO Aaron Tennant have done to remember and honor the veterans who 
bravely served our country. It is my honor to recognize them today.
