to know that these wreaths -- some 5,000 -- are donated by the Worcester
Wreath Co. of Harrington, Maine. The owner, Merrill Worcester, not

groups of Maine school kids combine an educational trip to DC with this
event to help out. Making this even more remarkable is the fact that Harrington
is in one the poorest parts of the state.
