Karen Worcester, the executive director of Wreaths Across America, speaking at a WAA event honoring veterans. “It is our mission along with more than 2,000 similar oriented charities, civic and religious groups throughout America to remember our fallen U.S. military heroes, honor veterans and those who currently serve in our armed forces and teach our children about the sacrifice these great heroes have made to defend and protect our great nation’’, stated Karen Worcester, the executive director of Wreaths Across America, as we began, from my New York office to hers in Maine, our telephone interview last week. While similarly described in the organization’s mission statement, which I had previously reviewed, Worcester’s compelling description of the work and goals of Wreaths Across America (WAA) reminded me of why, after receiving an email sent from its Maine headquarters 2 weeks before, I had become so impressed by this organization.

FReeper Canteen ~ The Four Chaplains ~ 04 February 2021
Posted on
For the freedom you enjoyed yesterday. Thank the Veterans who served in The United States Armed Forces.
Armed Forces Today!
The Four Chaplains, also sometimes referred to as the Immortal Chaplains or the Dorchester Chaplains were four United States Army chaplains who gave their lives to save other civilian and military personnel as the troop ship USAT Dorchester sank on February 3, 1943, during World War II. They helped other soldiers board lifeboats and gave up their own life jackets when the supply ran out. The chaplains joined arms, said prayers, and sang hymns as they went down with the ship.
