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...
Arlington National Cemetery at Christmas
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.
