Maine Veterans

Maine veterans will receive all proceeds from Box of Maine's newest ornament.

The state stepped up for a fallen hero in the most amazing way.

Let's use the powerful size of the our audience (you guys) and make this a celebration that will fill him with lots of love from all over Blimpville.

I am in tears right now as I write this. I am shocked and saddened to see reports in my Facebook news feed that the world has apparently lost an truly inspiring man and friend of us here at WBLM.

For every touchdown our New England team makes, SIS Bank will donate $50 dollars to a Maine charity. VMAT, which provides 100% free martial arts training for U.S. military veterans, reserves and active duty is their recipient for the month of December.

Thanks to a new law passed earlier this year Veterans living in Maine will be allowed into State Parks and The Maine State Museum for free.

Jeff is back with a happy update on one of his veteran brothers and a reminder that we are all still "F-in' Worth It!"

Jeff was stopped at the store today by a mom pushing a stroller with a baby who recognized him as "the guy from Facebook". He was happily surprised by this because he "honestly thought the newness had worn off". Well it hasn't.

Jeff Paradis participated in the Miles for Mills Memorial Day 5K in Augusta to benefit the Travis Mills Foundation. When he finished, Jeff shot a video message to remind us all of why he and his brothers and sisters run.

Listen to Jeff Paradis live in the studio with us this morning. You'll also hear a call from a Veteran with a message for Jeff that had us all in tears.

When viral Maine veteran Jeff Paradis was a guest on the WBLM Morning Show a couple weeks back, the Captain half-joked that his closing words in his video are so powerful they should be put on a t-shirt.

The outpouring of support in response to the viral video of Jeff Paradis' powerful plea for help last week has been absolutely incredible. We spoke with him yesterday afternoon and he told us he has been contacted by people who'd like to be supportive, from all over the world.

Thankfully, Jeff has posted another video give us an update on his two brothers that went in for services at the Maine Veterans Hospital. He also introduces us to his number one source of support.

His selfie shot video on the grounds of the Maine Veterans Hospital is now well over half a millions views on Facebook. Jeff was kind enough to take a call from the Captain and Celeste today on the WBLM Morning Show. If you missed it, you can listen to the whole thing here.

Our hero Jeff Paradis took to Facebook with a response video to let us all know how much he appreciates everyone spreading the word.

Mr. Paradis' pure emotion and uncensored real talk has touched many of our neighbors here in Maine and beyond. He reminds us all to take care of our brave veterans who have given so much.
