Wreaths Across America 2011

It was 8 AM on a cold winter day in DC.  Yet thousands of volunteers descended on Arlington National Cemetery to participate in the 20th annual Wreaths Across America Project.  This year there were 85,000 wreaths to be placed in Arlington and thanks to the growing support of the project every VA cemetery in the US will have wreaths placed on grave sites as well.

Cindy thanks for sharing this. Being a Military Veteran I sometimes feel that people just forget about those that have made the ultimate sarifice.
