Convoy Of Wreaths Depart For Arlington National Cemetery
COLUMBIA FALLS, Maine (AP) — A convoy of a dozen trucks is carrying wreaths from Maine to Arlington National Cemetery to adorn the graves of fallen U.S. military personnel.
Wreaths Across America says a box truck and 11 donated tractor-trailers are on their way from Columbia Falls with the bulk of the 248,000 wreaths that'll be left at gravesites in Arlington.
The convoy is making stops in five Maine communities Sunday as it heads south, including one with Maine first lady Ann LePage. The trucks will leave the state Monday and are due to arrive in Arlington, Virginia, on Saturday.
All told, Wreaths Across America expects to ship more than 900,000 wreaths to adorn veterans' graves in hundreds of locations in all 50 states and overseas.
