January Volunteering- Take 2

In honor Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, my mom and I volunteered at Valley Forge National Historic Park. We were assigned to taking down wreaths from Christmas at the National Memorial Arch. There were about 2,000 wreaths decorated the ground around the arch, commemorating the soldiers that died during the winter at Valley Forge. Nothing too exciting, but it still needed to be done. Now for a few pictures, because I finally remembered to bring my camera.
