“When Christmas bells are swinging above the fields of snow, we hear sweet voices ringing from lands of long ago, and etched on vacant places are half-forgotten faces of friends we used to cherish, and loves we used to know” Ellen Wheeler Wilcox O God, our help in ages past, Our hope in years to be, Look down upon this troubled world And see our need of Thee. For in this age of unrest, With violence all around We need Thy hand to lead us To higher, safer ground. Without Thy help and counsel We are helpless to restore Safety and security To our hearts and homes once more. And give us strength and courage To be honorable and true And to place our trust implicitly In unseen things and You. And keep us kind and humble And fill our hearts with love, Which in this selfish, greedy world Man has so little of. Forgive our transgressions And help us find the way To a better world for everyone Where man walks in peace each day. Helen Steiner Rice Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind. John F. Kennedy Visit The Official site of Arlington National Cemetery Readers may be interested to know that these wreaths -some 5,000 are donated by the Worcester Wreath Co. of Harrington , Maine. The owner, Merrill Worcester, not only provides the wreaths, but covers the trucking expense as well. He's done this since 1992. A wonderful guy. Also, most years, groups of Maine school kids combine an educational trip to DC with this event to help out. Making this even more remarkable is the fact that Harrington is in one the poorest parts of the state.          To Send This To A Friend Click The Button Below: Page was created with Love by Joanne/GabbiAsh December 12, 2006 Joanne in Dreamland© Feel free to send any of my pages but please send them as they're made and not remove anything to use as your own.
