We Salute You

Marietta National Cemetery
I rarely watch the news anymore—too depressing, but I just happened to catch a segment before changing channels that caught my attention. They were at Marietta National Cemetery and wreaths were being placed in front of the headstones. This was part of a nationwide tradition: Wreaths Across America. Although 5,000 wreaths sounds like a lot, they explained that they didn't have the funds to have one for every one of the over 18,000 that are buried there.
