To do something like this, year after year, is above and beyond the call of duty.

Here's a salute to you, Merrill, and I hope you get many more.

Readers may be interested to know that these wreaths -- some 5,000 -- are donated by the Worcester Wreath Co. of Harrington, Maine. The owner, Merrill Worcester, not only provides the wreaths, but covers the trucking expense as well. He's done this since 1992. A wonderful guy.

Also, most years, groups of Maine school kids combine an educational trip to DC with this event to help out.  I wonder why the press hasn't enlightened the public about it?
 

Making this even more remarkable is the fact that Harrington is in one of the poorest parts of the state.
