News of a good deed

Arlington National Cemetery in winter
I had never heard of this. I have only visited in the summer months. I wonder why the press hasn't enlightened the public about it?
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...
Readers may be interested to know that 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. A wonderful guy. Also, most years, groups of Maine school kids combine an educational trip to DC 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.
If you are so inclined, please share this with everyone they know. You hear too much about the bad things people do. Everyone should hear about this.

Isn't it nice to know there's still some humanity remaining in humans after all. 
The fallen may not realise the good deed, but the families and friends surely do and appreciate the time, effort and respect these remarkable people have put into the remembrance of those who sacrificed all to help make this world a better and safer place.
