For nearly two decades, a Maine Christmas wreath company has donated 5,000 wreaths that are placed by volunteers at Arlington National Cemetery.

The commemoration has expanded across the United States to include many more National Cemeteries.

This year, in 2007, the volunteers will assemble on 15 December beginning at 0900 to place the wreaths within America’s hallowed grounds – final resting place for the heroes who’ve kept the fires of freedom burning bright within the United States. The caravan will have left Maine on 09 December and slowly make their way to the Washington DC area.
