Remembering those who served

Veterans Day 2008

My thanks to all who have served our country in Afghanistan and Iraq and all previous conflicts in places far from home, family and friends. We have a great country and our veteran's commitment keeps it that way.

The photos are of the Town of Raymond, Maine's Veterans Memorial which was dedicated on Memorial Day 2007 after a lengthly fundraising effort organized by resident Howard Stiles. It is a project that the community can take great pride in.



The embedded video (16:24 long) is footage of WWII taken by army photographer Albert Fagler in 1944 recently found in a Englewood, Colorado basement and was shown on Monday evening's NBC Nightly News. The clarity is incredible, there is no audio.
