First of all, thank you to all of those who have served either the United States of America or Canada, both past and present. Thank you for your service! Wear that poppy proud!

On Veterans’ Day, November 11, 2014, beginning at 4:30 p.m., Presque Isle Elks Lodge #1954 will host a free stew night for all military veterans.

Many folks have today off from work and school in celebration of Veterans Day in the U.S. and Remembrance Day in Canada, but let us not forget just why we have are lucky enough to have the day off.

For the past 10 years a group of dedicated volunteers led by Harry Hafford, have worked tirelessly to ensure, Maine veterans ,have a proper final resting place. The Northern Maine Veterans Cemetery in Caribou was build on 40 acres of land and is the last home for many of our veterans. Harri Hafford spoke to me about the future of the cemetery.

Veterans Day is on November 12, and though no particular events are planned to celebrate our heroes, you can still do something special for them. Here are a few ideas to help you get inspired.
