As yesterday's defenders of freedom, we want to welcome today's military service members into our ranks to become part of our elite group. Our common bond is the battlefield, whether it is service in the Persian Gulf, Korea, Kosovo, the war on terrorism or peace-keeping expeditionary campaigns. Your courage and sacrifice have made a difference in preserving and defending world peace.
Tomorrow, Wednesday, May 6 at 6:30PM, we will have Daniel Bupp from the Maine Department of Labor at the Career center in Bangor at the VFW post. He works with veterans who are seeking career services or other assistance as they return to work. He will introduce himself and talk about what the Career center offers veterans.
The mission of the Garry Owen House is to provide a transitional shelter where homeless veterans can find hope for the future through a fellowship with other veterans dedicated to help them link up with the opportunities they have earned in the service to our country in an atmosphere of safety, dignity and respect.
The Garry Owen House is a 501 C3 non-profit organization.
This event will begin with a picnic at 11 AM with food available for sale by the Courageous Steps Project. Then, at noon, a short concert by the Alumni Jazz Band will fill your ears with patriotic favorites. The official ceremony will start at 12:30 PM with a Color Guard presentation by the Hermon JROTC. The service will conclude with a special wreath laying at each of the four memorials at the Museum. The Museum grounds will also be home to over 3,000 flags covering the grass areas surrounding the memorials, each flag representing a military member from Maine killed during WWII, the Korean War, or the Vietnam War.
We proudly offer Maine veterans a free weekend trip to experience the profound beauty of the World War II Memorial, the U.S. Marine Corps Memorial, the Vietnam War Memorial, and many other significant sites. We believe it’s essential to express our gratitude and recognition for their service, and we are here to make that experience memorable and meaningful.
