The Arlington Cemetery in Virginia which prides itself with the words, “Where valor proudly sleeps” conducts an annual invitation to all volunteers to lay down wreaths on the heads of tombstones to honor the departed souls. Every year thousands of people from Maine and other states arrive with red and green wreaths to be laid down on the headstones of the deceased.
The families of those who were in the US Air Force are given due recognition by the social workers and government. Most of the soldiers who give their lives die anonymous deaths which make the tragedy of the loss all the more acute. The volunteers come up with floral decorations around war memorials and the graveyard along with their prayers for the departed souls so that they might rest in peace.
The floral bows done in red leave an indelible impression on the minds of the visitors against the poignant white background of the winter snow. Despite the cold wind and snow, whole crowds of well-wishers gather each year to lay down the donated wreaths. Learn more about the annual wreath laying in honor of the departed at
