Wreaths Across America honors Americas fallen soldiers

It was near the end of the holiday season in 1992, and the Worcester Wreath Co. in Maine found themselves with an excess of wreaths. I ordered too much greenery, said Morrill Worcester, the company president.So I wanted to do something special. I had an idea, but I wasnt sure we could make it work.
Worcesters idea was to make up 5,000 wreaths and take them to Arlington National Cemetery to decorate the graves of veterans. As a child, hed experienced a trip to Arlington and the impression would last a lifetime.
With the help of U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe from Maine, arrangements were made for the wreaths to be placed at Arlington in one of the older sections of the cemetery, a section which received fewer visitors with each passing year.

Volunteer truckers are needed to haul wreaths from Maine to their eventual destinations on the headstones of our service men and women.

We need 50 trucks total and we have about 30-35, so we are still looking for truckers who want to haul a load, he said.
Trucks are needed to cover deliveries in all regions. For details, click here.

To find more information about the program or to see the photo, visit wreathsacrossamerica.org. Be sure to check out the video compilation of the wreath-laying activities for recent years.

The laying of the wreaths is planned for Dec. 12.
