In our previous post, we shared a historical story about Admiral William Halsey. Here is Morrill Worcester placing a wreath on Admiral Halsey's grave in Dec. 2011. For many years Dr. John Winkin traveled with us to Arlington and placed the wreath. When he has not been able to travel, Morrill always makes sure a wreath is placed there. John Winkin served under Admiral Halsey throughout the war in the Pacific.
