To Morill Worcester and Wreaths Across American…

Our mission, Remember, Honor, Teach, is carried out in part by coordinating wreath laying ceremonies a specified Saturday in December at Arlington, as well as veterans’ cemeteries and other locations in all 50 states and beyond. We also organize a week of events including international veteran’s tributes, ceremonies at State Houses and a week-long “Veteran’s Parade” between Maine and Virginia where we stop along the way to spread our message about the importance of remembering our fallen heroes, honoring those who serve, and teaching our children about the sacrifices made by veterans and their families to preserve our freedoms.

This week of events is made possible by thousands of volunteers who organize local ceremonies, raise funds to sponsor wreaths, and participate in the events.  The cost of our programs is paid by individual wreaths sponsors, corporate donors and volunteer truckers.

It was a grey day at Arlington this morning, but thankfully the weather held off…

This was from where I was parked- A shot of the back side of the Air Force Memorial.

Somewhere over 120,000 wreaths were placed today at Arlington in memory of those who lie there.

Apparently donations were down significantly this year, but in this economy/uncertainty it’s understandable… Please if you can, donate something next year.

God Bless everyone who came out today, not only at Arlington, but all over the country…
