Best Wishes to all the kids for their first day back at school on Tuesday in our area. As area drivers, please be care-ful near bus stops both in the morning and the afternoon when you're out so we can all keep the kids safe. I hope everyone has a productive, safe and happy school year.

Wreaths Across America
The American Legion Post 364 encourages its officers, members and public at large to support the Wreaths Across America Program. Since 1992, Morill Worcester, a wreath maker from Maine, has donated and placed 5,000 wreaths each year on headstones at Arlington National Cemetery. In 2006, Wreaths Across America was formed to see that this event emulated at other National and State Veteran's Cemeteries. By 2008, 350 locations were participating and 105,000 wreaths were placed by over 60,000 volunteers. Dec. 12 is National Wreaths Across America day. You or your business may participate in several ways. To find out how, call 703-398-7181 or visit WreathsAcrossAmerica. org.
