An item from the Wreaths Across America organization that may be of interest to members.
Summer is winding down, schools are reopening, and many who graduated in June have set off to begin the next chapter of their lives. That includes thousands of young men and women who signed up to serve in the U.S. military.
September also brings us the anniversary and remembrance of 9-11. This year, we will once again have a special flag-waving ceremony to remember not only those lost that day but also to honor those who joined our military in the wake of that horrendous attack. Before the smoke cleared from the rubble, Americans united in prayer and resolve to protect our land and way of life, and young men and women volunteered to be in harm’s way. That American spirit alone is the cause of optimism for our country.
It is appropriate that from Ground Zero, they will read the names of those who died on that tragic day in the same way we say the names as we place wreaths on National Wreaths Across America Day. Through this, we teach our children about the cost of freedom.
I hope you will join us as we proudly and optimistically wave the American flag like we do each Tuesday morning in remembrance and celebration of our freedoms.
With gratitude,
Karen Worcester
