Decking the Halls with Wreaths Across America

Such a bittersweet service. Thank you so much for doing it. I know it must be quite hard both physically and emotionally. I know it would be for me. You are the best.

I don't think most think of it in terms of hard or easy but are driven to do it. For whatever reason, or perhaps no reason at all, other than to serve.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving your kind words behind.

@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...

Thank you for your service! It really isn't about being a veteran, although this post is exactly that. :) But, of course, being a good person is always and forever something we can all strive for. And you do exactly that, every day. Which is pretty amazing with all that you do.

So, I thank you and thank you for the curating and just for stopping in and saying hello, leaving your kind comment behind.

Have an amazing week ahead!

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.

Anything done for veterans is a great gesture for their sacrifice to their country.

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 for stopping by and leaving your generous comment. Have a great week ahead!

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.
