CHRISTMAS AT ARLINGTONARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY
Christmas at Arlington Christmas at Arlington ... Christmas at Arlington ... Christmas at Arlington
It''s making the round by email, so I don't know whom to attribute this to, but it was sent to me by Dr. John Alifano, a veteran of Vietnam.
THE PRAYER
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.
According to the email I received, the wreaths 5,000 of them, are donated each year 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.
Most years, a group of Maine school children combine an educational trip to D. C. 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!
I agree!
P.S. This is a true question -- aren't there some sisters buried there as well?
