Maine State Police Display Special Holiday License Plates

(Augusta, Maine) - Maine State Police are displaying special license plates on their cruisers this week to commemorate the Wreaths Across America convoy that is making its way from Maine to Arlington national Cemetery.

Troopers are part of the convoy as is Maine First Lady Ann LePage, who was presented with her own special plate by State Police Colonel Robert Williams.

The Wreaths Across America convoy left Columbia Falls this weekend. A convoy of a dozen trucks is carrying wreaths from Maine to Arlington National Cemetery to
adorn the graves of fallen U.S. military personnel.

Wreaths Across America says a box truck and 11 donated tractor-trailers are on their way with the bulk of the 248,000 wreaths that'll be left at gravesites in Arlington.

The trucks are due to arrive in Arlington, Virginia, on Saturday.

All told, Wreaths Across America expects to ship more than 900,000 wreaths to adorn veterans' graves in hundreds of locations in all 50 states and overseas.
