Maine Gets First Gold Star Memorial Marker

Families of fallen solidiers celebrated Maine’s first Gold Star Families Memorial Marker Saturday. The project has been a year in the making to honor the families and friends of those who died while serving in the armed forces. Gold Star Family members said the community support at today’s unveiling and outside the memorial has helped in the healing process. “You can usually tell when I run into new Gold Star families,” Cindy Small said.
