Wreaths Across America
The mission of Wreaths Across America is to remember, honor, and teach. They do this by placing fresh wreaths on the graves at Arlington and across the nation.
Today, two of my friends and I placed fresh evergreen wreaths on some graves that are very special to us.

Remembering
The holidays always have a sad component when we think about our loved ones who have left. Participating in Wreaths Across America, even though it was sad, was still a good day.
My friends and I spent time together, had a BIG breakfast before we set out to place the wreaths, got rained on, laughed a lot, and shared sweet memories.
