Wreaths Across America

Me and Marcia trekked to the Florida National Cemetery Bushnell today to participate in Wreaths Across America. Thousands and thousands of people.  We laid 4 wreaths in one section and they ran out so we walked to another section and laid more wreaths until that trailer was empty.  then we walked to another section and laid a ton of wreaths.  Never had that happen before.  Of course, we don't just lay a wreath at a gravesite.  We lay the  wreath down gently, step back, say the person's name out loud, say thank you and Merry Christmas.  Being a Veteran, I render a hand salute.

It was a GREAT day!

Never heard about a shortage, but then I never watch/listen to Fox News or CNN.  I can't describe the feeling inside remembering fallen Veterans, Ray.  It just feels good.  This is the cemetery where our ashes will be buried - already approved by the VA.
