Christmas at Arlington National Cemetery
(author unknown)
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.
