Christmas from Maine to the dead .

[Grandpa Frank]

Kind of a neat thing. This man in Maine has been sending Xmas wreaths to Arlington Cemetery for 15 years. The story is here:

That's a nice undertaking on their part. It's easy to forget the past sacrifices of so many when faced with all the freedoms and privileges we enjoy today. It's been thirteen years now since my old man kicked the bucket (U.S. Navy, retired 22 years) and six years since my oldest brother (U.S. Air Force, 10 years) dissapeared but my mother still makes the pilgrimage to his headstone every year for Father's Day to place a similar-type wreath. Nice link and a worthwhile cause.
