"We are not here to “decorate graves." We're here to remember not their deaths, but their lives." Karen Worcester, Executive Director of Wreaths Across America
Always and forever. God bless them all.
“In many homes, there is an empty seat for one who is serving or one who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. There is no better time to express our appreciation than during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.” - Wreaths Across America
Do you?
Do you have a dream?
Will we enter this space, this place so blue
Where the colors are warm
And the place is too?
Do you have a dream?
Again
Embrace the wings of words unsaid
Not long enough and you were gone
My heart lay watching, from afar
No haste
To say goodbye
Secret intentions to part with grace
Vanishing yet, to another place
Leaving the words behind
The gift of peace.
The gift of happiness.
May all these be yours at Christmas.
long after the season is gone, gone, gone.
Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
Pretending day-by-day
That someone, somewhere soon make a change
We're all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know, love is all we need
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
Oh, send them your heart
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
Oh, there's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well let us realize
Oh, that a change can only come
When we stand together as one, yeah, yeah, yeah
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me

@dswigle,
Being a VET this is also close to my heart... and you know, really, it's not even about being a VET* but just a good person. Remembering how many have, or still are, giving their time, lives so that we can have what everyone wants... freedom. This was a wonderful post, and I thank you for sharing it...

Hi @dswigle. I've never heard about this event. Such a beautiful gesture. The owners of the wreath company are wonderful individuals. You can tell a person's heart by their actions.

Hi @justclickindiva
I agree with you on that count. I cannot do enough for veterans. There is no repayment for the freedoms we enjoy. The event has been going on for a while and now literally thousands show up to lay a wreath. The owner and wife of the company are heroes in my book. They have hearts of gold.

Thank you so much @free-reign! I suspect that you are a veteran, is that so? I have to say that usually, I can spot one from afar.
It is always a powerful site to me, all those graves coved in a wreath. The one that touched me was the kissing the headstone, although to be fair, that was not taken last weekend, but, it fit nonetheless.
And thank you for your kind words.

Yep, US Army enlistee, although I wasn't a career service member. I was in for 3 years but became eligible for and got a nearly a 6 month early out because I wasn't interested in reenlisting. I was quite happy with that at the time. I served a total of 2 years, 6 months and 22 days.
The 22 days were added on after I'd come home for Christmas on a 30 special leave, and overstayed at home a few extra days. :)
Arlington is a special place. But you know that. Respect.

As a veteran, I am truly touched and was unaware of this. Thank you! I know my battle buddies would be proud of this and gracious as well. I spend every season thinking of them and their families. It's nice to know someone else does too. 🙂
