Opportunity for service to our troops in VA/MD/DC

Hey gang,

I can't think of a better group of people to throw this out to. Like many of you, I have the deepest respect and gratitude for our troops. On the way to work today I heard a local station saying that Arlington National Cemetery is in need of some help tomorrow. Here is a chance to give something back and to show the men and women buried there the appreciation they deserve so deeply.

Arlington National Cemetery is looking for volunteers tomorrow morning to clean up the 224,000 wreaths that are still on graves at the cemetery. People are meeting at the cemetery at 8:00am and are being asked to stay until at least 1:00pm. There are details on the cemetery's site at:

www.arlingtoncemetery.mil

I will be headed down early to be there and pitch in with the other volunteers. I may have another jeeper headed down with me. If you are going, or want to go, please drop me a line or look for me when you get there. It would be cool to meet some of the East coast WAL guys and while doing some good work for deserving service members and their loved ones.

It should be a great day. The weather is calling for a few inches of snow and Arlington should be beautiful if it does.
