Today I was up very early to go to Arlington National Cemetery for the 20th anniversary of the placing of the wreaths on the graves, known as "Wreaths Across America". After an opening ceremony , over a thousand volunteers fanned out to place wreaths on the graves for the holiday season. I took this photo in the section where a friend and I placed wreaths today. Here is a web site to read about the history of this volunteer project. I have three family members buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
