Wednesday Hero Blogburst...

Unfortunately, no Wednesday Hero blogburst this week. According to my good friend, ChicagoRay, Indian Chris, our group's founder, is probably caught up in the middle of the ice storm that has paralyzed much of the south-central U.S... as a substitute, I offer the following that I received in an email from my sister:
Arlington at Christmas

I had no idea this was done. I thought you might want to see it.

Arlington National Cemetery



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.
