Wreaths Across America

I'm probably one of the most patriotic people around, so Wreaths Across America was really special for me. Our really awesome Relief Society Activities Committee from church coordinated a group to participate in this community volunteer project at Arlington National Cemetery on Dec. 11, 2011. The following is a brief photo diary of the morning's events.

Part of our group before the activity. We all wore red and white ribbons.

Oakhurst donated all of the wreaths and

shipped them in on big semis.

Alex, Sunni and I fought our way through the crowd to get a box of wreaths. Alex came out victorious!

Sunni's so excited.

I'm so excited...and feeling a little squished.

The BEAUTIFUL wreaths

Woo-hoo!

Quite peaceful

Me about to lay down my wreath. Excuse my nappy hair.

Alex placing her wreath

I placed my wreath on baby Kent's grave.

He was just a wee little babe.

Just in awe at this glorious sight

Here's a majority of our group; we lost some others along the way.

I told Alex to make a face...she did a good job. It took us a while to find our way out of the cemetery, but we eventually made it.

God bless America and

God bless our troops!
