Thousands of Maine-made wreaths are heading south to Arlington National Cemetery. Maine's First Lady Ann LePage and a convoy escorted by Patriot Guard Riders left from the Worcester Wreath Company on Sunday.
Wreaths Across America Day was Saturday. It is where 100,000 wreaths are laid at the graves of soldiers in Arlington National Cemetery and many other cemeteries. The Escort to Arlington started December 8th in Harrington.
