WAA New Strategies to Honor Veterans



As the CEO of Petore Construction, Ted Vitale leads a highly skilled general construction staff that coordinates projects in New York and other metropolitan areas. The company assists clients with project phasing to ensure the construction process doesn’t impact day-to-day business. Ted Vitale supports several charitable causes such as Wreaths Across America.

Over the years, Wreaths Across America (WAA) has collaborated with like-minded programs and groups to remember and honor the nation’s active-duty military and veterans. WAA is best known for the annual event of placing wreaths on headstones of fallen soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. In 2020, however, WAA placed over 1.7 million sponsored wreaths at 2,557 sites spread across participating locations all over the US.

For 2021, Wreaths Across America has organized a series of virtual races supporting the organization’s mission, "Remember, Honor, Teach". This is after eight virtual races were successfully held in 2020 across the country.
