BY PATRICE HARRINGTON COURIER CORRESPONDENT WINCHENDON — With the roar of motorcycles and the tang of BBQ, the Fire & Iron Motorcycle Club Station 857 adopted the annual Wreaths Across America proj- ect. Wreaths Across America is an organiza- tion that started in 1992 when the Worcester Wreath Company of Harrington, ME found themselves with an excessive amount of wreaths toward the end of the holiday sea- son. Morrill Worcester, owner of the compa- ny, wanted to honor the fallen veterans and made arrangements for the surplus of wreaths to be placed at Arlington National Cemetery. It wasn’t until 2005 that the wreath laying received national attention. In 2007 Wreaths Across America was formed and the efforts continued to expand across the country.
