Remember - Honor - Teach at Arlington National Cemetery

“Rest easy, sleep well my brothers.
Know the line has held, your job is done.
Rest easy, sleep well.
Others have taken up where you fell, the line has held.
Peace, peace, and farewell…”

Many readers may recognize these words.

Back in 2005, the iconic image of the wreaths in the snow was taken by James Varhegyi, paired with these words and flashed into a viral sensation around the web (as detailed here by Snopes).

That explosion of interest grew the wreath-laying event from Arlington to over 700 locations nationwide and a national non-profit that now works year round in its mission to remember, honor, and teach about the service and sacrifice of our veterans.

So from our family to yours, to our extended family of veterans, service men, and women who protect our freedoms, and to all the families who may have an empty seat at the table for the loved one who is away or lost…

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays To All
