On Friday December 9, 2011 Knox County Sheriff’s Deputies and Correctional Officers are headed with wreaths to Join other LE Officers in the Yearly Wreaths Across America to Arlington National Cemetery. They will stop at the Kennebunk Port service area at around 5:30 am so any other LE Officers can join them. We will be hauling approximately 200 wreaths to place on our Korean, Vietnam and World war 2 hero’s Memorials.
Morrill Wooster of Harrington Maine has been delivering wreaths to Arlington for approximately 20 years and is the founder of this great program. This year approximately 300,000 wreaths will be placed on our soldier’s graves. A very somber and impressive sight as we pay homage to our American Patriots.
Anyone wishing to join our caravan to Arlington is welcome to join us in Kennebunk Port at around 5:30 a.m. on Friday.
Our 40th President Ronald Reagan (1981-1989) said;
· “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
Sheriff Dennison
