U.S. Marines bow their heads in silence in honor of fallen comrades.
U.S. Marines with 1st Marine Logistics Group (Forward) bow their heads in silence in honor of fallen comrades during an evening vigil at Camp Al Taqaddum, Iraq, on Dec. 14, 2006. The holiday wreaths are a donation from the Worcester Wreath Company as part of an expansion of the 15-year old tradition known as the Arlington Wreath Project, in which thousands of holiday wreaths are brought to Arlington Cemetery in Arlington, Va., to adorn headstones. The vigil is being timed to coincide with a similar ceremony being held in Arlington National Cemetery.
