To all of our American heroes, recent immigrant or long time immigrant. A
wish for peace in your souls and love in your hearts !!!
CHRISTMAS AT ARLINGTON CEMETERY
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...

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.
