Christmas at Arlington National Cemetery

Christmas at Arlington National Cemetery  

December is a time of giving to those we care about, family, loved ones, friends, and associates. However, I would like to ask you all a very special favor in Lue of buying a gift for me. Instead, I would ask that you visit your local National Cemetery and walk the line of headstones; read the names and say a prayer of thanks for their sacrifice. 

Another way you can honor those who have gone before us, is to volunteer for Wreaths Across America on December 13th. On December 13, the WAA and thousands of volunteers will lie Christmas Wreaths at every headstone in our National cemeteries. Don't know who they are or where your cemetery is, here's are a couple of links to help you find them both.
