Members of the Burton-Goode-Sargent Chapter 1 of the Korean War Veterans of America lay six wreaths at the Korean War Memorial at Mount Hope Cemetery on Saturday. The ceremony was held to honor the men and woman in all major branches of the military and it coincided with the laying of thousands of wreaths in Arlington National Cemetery. The 3rd annual event was held as part of the Wreaths Across America Project founded by Morrill Worcester of Harrington who also donated the wreaths.

Here in Massachusetts we refer to them as "Mainiacs".
Seriously, it's a beautiful story and it grows better every year as Merril Worcester expands on the original trip.
Thanks for stopping by.
