DC Protest Warrior Chapter is looking for folks to volunteer to help lay the holiday wreaths at all the grave sites of our fallen soldiers at Arlington. I am not sure of the process, but I am sure if you show up, your time will be put to good use!
There are some 10K wreaths to be laid at Arlington, and 4k more to be used in ceremonies in all 50 states. All of the wreaths are being donated by the Worcester Wreath Company. For next year, you can sponsor a wreath if you like…click on the link below and check out sponsorship.
Can’t make it to Washington? Then check for the local National cemeteries near you!! They are shown by state.

The mission is to honor the fallen, honor those serving and teaching our children the value of Freedom. Amen to that.

As an aside…one of my favorite quotes on Freedom is by Ronald Reagan. It is also a quote on the Wreaths Across America site. I believe he said it in July 4th radio address in 1986.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
