Every December since 1992, Morrill Worcester and volunteers have been laying wreaths on the graves of soldiers in Arlington National Cemetery.<\/p>\n
Worcester, owner of one of the world\u2019s largest holiday wreath companies, started Wreaths Across America, the volunteer wreath-laying program, after one of his warehouses called to report an overproduction of several thousand wreaths. \u201cWell, I\u2019m not just gonna throw them away,\u201d Worcester said. He called Washington and asked for permission to lay his wreaths on graves in Arlington. He got it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen people hear about what we\u2019re doing, they want to know if I\u2019m a veteran,\u201d Morrill said. \u201cI\u2019m not. But I make it my business never to forget.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wreaths Across America is helping reclaim the true meaning of a wreath, Worcester says. \u201cWe wanted to get back to the simple idea of what a wreath represents\u2014respect, honor, and victory.\u201d<\/p>\n
