As it passes by Yarmouth, Maine enroute to Arlington Cemetery. Photos compliments of Michael Leonard.
I was happy to be a part of the roadside celebration supporting the wreath convoy as it passed through my hometown of Yarmouth, Maine. About a dozen people had shown up around 4;30 PM on Sunday December 5, 2010 and were told that the convoy was just passing through Wiscassett and to come back about an hour later. I came back about 45 minutes later and was right on time to catch the convoy in it's entirety.
Jeff Weinstein - seen in one of the images - was instrumental in organizing the assembly of folks who came out to cheer on the convoy.
The convoy was escorted by a couple of police cruisers with sirens sounding and blue lights flashing and was followed by various other vehicles with lights flashing, horns honking, a stretch limo was in the mix with people waving out the windows at the crowd that had gathered along the road. A light snow began to fall as the vehicles passed.
Within 2 minutes the whole event was over - but it was a moment in time that I will not soon forget. I was glad to have been a participant and to have recorded the moment as I did - there were no other cameras present.
