I had no idea this was done. I thought you might want to see
it.

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...
Readers 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.
Please share this with everyone on your address list. You hear
too much about the bad things people do.
Everyone should hear about this.
