My son and I went over to Arlington National Cemetery this morning to help lay wreaths at the graves. I was happy to see the thousands of volunteers who turned out to help.

You're supposed to take your time and read each stone as you are placing the wreath. Take a moment to straighten the bow and make it look nice. We only placed about ten each because there were so many people there to help, but it was a good experience.

Each year they expand the program, but still haven't raised enough funds to place a wreath on each grave. I'd guess we ran out of wreaths when half the cemetery was covered. Those sections looked nice when we were done though.
