We volunteered to participate in the Wreaths across America at Arlington National Cemetery. The kids and I (David was helping a family move) drove what should have been a 30 minutes drive to Arlington but with the volunteer traffic it too us 2 1/2 hours to get there. We ended up parking at Fort Myer and walking in the chapel gate. We found 3 trucks and they were all out of wreaths. We found a couple that had still had their wreaths and I asked them if we could take a picture with one of their wreaths and they told us we could have it. Yay! We walked around for a bit trying to find a grave to place it on and finally found a grave with two people buried there and only one wreath, so we placed ours there. The kids were happy to find somewhere to put it. It was a great experience for all of us. I hope we get another chance to do it again!
