A Christmas wish for all

CHRISTMAS AT ARLINGTON CEMETERY
I wonder why the press hasn't enlightened the public about it??
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...



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. Ma! king thi s 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.

Bob, I think there was a piece on this that aired last year, I know I have seen it before, it might have been Dateline or 20/20. Great thing they do, grateful human beings and do something that so many others could do if they chose to.
Happy Holidays to ALL from Silver State
