Today was the Wreath Ceremony at Arlington National Cemetary. Since 1992 volunteers have laid the wreaths at each grave. The wreaths are donated by the Worchester Wreath Company, the owner covers the trucking expense as well.

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.....

Ok, thanks, thought I missed something or else the lack of power had gotten to you. Believe me I know what it was like, we did it for 3 weeks once. :eek:

How appropriate for them to have the ceremony the day before the Anniversary date of the Boston Tea Party, which helped to spark the American Revolution, and give us freedom from Britain.
