More than 60,000 American war dead, as well as notables including Presidents William Howard Taft and John F. Kennedy, Gen.

This year, Morrill Worcester and the Worcester Wreath Company will continue to make their annual wreath donation, but transportation assistance is needed. Perhaps 90 to 100 truckloads will be needed to accommodate the nearly 500,000 wreaths expected to be made and donated this year. In 2007, seven companies made a contribution in kind. NDTA corporate members Boyle Transportation and UPS were among the generous corporations who donated their transportation services. This year, people in Houston have placed a HUGE order, so help will be needed to deliver wreaths made in Maine to the National Cemetery cemetery, name used by early Christians to designate a place for burying the dead. First applied in Christian burials in the Roman catacombs, the word cemetery came into general usage in the 15th cent. in Houston. If you'd like to take part, please contact Marcy (T: 207-483-2039) at Wreaths Across America headquarters. Wreaths are delivered and displayed at Veteran's cemeteries This is a list of famous cemeteries, mausoleums and other places people are buried, world-wide. It may never be fully completed or, depending on its its nature, it may be that it can never be completed. However, new and revised entries in the list are always welcome. in several cities. Or, you may want to initiate ceremonies at a new site. If you plan to attend the Regional Forum in Hershey, you'll have a chance to meet Morrill Worcester. Members of NDTA's Central Pennsylvania Chapter, co-host of the event along with the Washington, DC, Chapter, will be on hand, too. They participated in WAA ceremonies last year, and their Chapter President, John Fasching, has made the challenge to all NDTA members to join the cause this holiday season. Denise A.
