ARLINGTON AT CHRISTMAS

 
Arlington National Cemetery

Rest easy, sleep well my brothers.
Know the line has held, your job is done.
 Rest easy, sleep well.
Others have taken up where you fell, the line has held.
Peace, peace, and farewell..

You may be interested to know that these wreaths -- some 5,000 -- are donated by the Worcester Wreath Co. of Harrington, Maine. The owner, Merrill Worcester, not only provides the wreaths, but covers the trucking expense as well. He's done this since 1992. A wonderful guy. Also, most years, groups of Maine school kids combine an educational trip to DC with this event to help out. Making this even more remarkable is the fact that Harrington is in one the poorest parts of the state. Recent article posted in the Farm Bureau News here.  
 
Worcester Wreath Co is here if you wish to thank them for their kindness.
