Maine Remembrance Wreaths Decorate Veterans Cemeteries
I am volunteering to help lay wreaths at Arlington National Cemetery on December 13, 2008. This company Worcester Wreath has for a number of years have been doing this as you can see by the link and video attached.
I first got notice of this in USA Today in December 2006 and tried last year to volunteer and never heard back, I tried again this year and the President of the company wrote me back and said I was more than welcome to volunteer and I could bring as many as I liked.
So I am going to do it this year, I am taking three dear friends with me, two of which are veterans, one a Korean War veteran who is like a 2nd father to me and another is a Vietnam War veteran.
Our plan is to leave on Thursday the 11th and stay over and on the 12th take the two veterans to their respective memorials as they have not seen them in person, then on that Saturday the 13th meet the group of other volunteers at Arlington.
If anyone is interested I was told to meet at Section 12 of Arlington at 8am on that Saturday December 13th. The President of the company starts with a prayer and then we start laying wreaths, so if you are in the area and like to volunteer you are more than welcome to show up.
This is something I have wanted to do since getting wind of it two years ago and I think taking my two veteran friends will be very special and it is the least I can do.
