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.
Would you like to see hundreds of wreaths laid to honor veterans in your state or community? Express your patriotism and gratitude by getting involved at the participating location near you. Please visit Wreaths Across America for a listing of participating locations near you.
My thoughts: It's so much better to give than to receive! May you have a wonderful Christmas.
