The Arlington Christmas Wreath Project


A great American poet, James Russell Lowell (1819-1891), wrote:

Be NOBLE! and the nobleness that lies
In other men, sleeping, but never dead
Will rise in majesty to meet thine own.


The wisdom of the poet's words has blossomed in a new American Christmas tradition. The following video tells the story of how "one man's gesture of remembrance and respect" has inspired thousands of generous volunteers throughout the nation.
