Christmas for The Boys
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.
Brought to my attention by Michelle Malkin HERE. Read the whole thing.

Mr. Worcester:
I just received the article about how you send wreaths to Arlington Cemetary each year. This is absolutely awesome!! You have touched my heart. My dad served in the Army in the 50's and currently my son and daughter-in-law are in the Army - stationed in Germany.
I am sending this article on to everyone in my email list and posting it in a few of the military groups I belong to.
Thank you so much for doing this. You are truly a wonderful man.
God Bless You and may your new year be filled with happiness, peace, love, and prosperity.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

I am a retired marine and a lot of the men in Arlington were my men.Thanks from the bottom of my heart.I will send this to many friend and will also by wreaths from you, when I need them.God bless and Semper Fi!, bILL,USMC Ret

THIS IS FOR MERRILL WORCRESTER,
I JUST SAW A PICTURE OF THE WREATHS ON THE GRAVES THAT YOU PROVIDED TO ARLINGTON CEMETERY. YOUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR OUR COUNTRY. HOW "SPECIAL" IS THAT!!! YOU ARE TRULY A WONDERFUL MAN. IT WOULD GIVE ME GREAT PLEASURE TO SHAKE YOUR HAND ALONG WITH A "BIG HUG". A GRAVE WITHOUT A WREATH IS LIKE A BODY WITHOUT A HEART!!!
I HAVE FORWARDED THIS ARTICAL TO ALL OF MY E-MAIL FRIENDS IN HONOR OF YOUR DEVOTION.
GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!!!
