Memorial Day

The New England Patriots planted 2500 flags outside of Gillette Stadium this weekend to honor people from the Foxborough area that have lost their lives in military service. The project was done with the help of many volunteers and the Massachusetts Military Heroes Fund. The Fund usually plants over 35,000 flags each Memorial Day Weekend on the Boston Common, but because of the COVID-19 restrictions, they were not able to this year.

The News Center Maine team reported today that Volunteers following the proper protocol for social distancing placed flags at St. Peter's Cemetary.

I learned about Green Light a Vet a while ago. I had every intention of replacing my porch light with a green one to show support for our veterans, but never got around to it. Mark and Sabelle were at Home Depot this Memorial Day weekend and she did remember...

If you are driving the Maine Turnpike today you are not alone. 930,000 vehicles will travel the turnpike this weekend!

Because of the rain and forecast, many of Maine's Memorial Day parades and ceremonies have been moved or canceled.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Safe travel if you're hitting the road this weekend. 930,000 vehicles will travel the turnpike between Friday and Monday.

Monday's Memorial Day parade will begin in Longfellow Square and end with a ceremony on Monument Square at the feet of "Our Lady of Victories", the monument that inspired the name of the square. I see her every day from the WBLM studio windows, but I know nothing about her...

I'm not sure why this year I have become more sensitive to what memorial Day is, but I'm glad. For some reason it hit me, how important this day is to so many who have lost a soldier. How many soldiers we have lost. I'll admit, I was confused about Veteran's Day and Memorial Day...

Three day weekends are legendary for their traffic, but none more so than this weekend! Memorial Day weekend is the most dangerous weekend of the year to drive according to Triple-A. About 33 million people are traveling our roadways and about 400 people die in car crashes each year around Memorial Day...

Memorial Day Weekend! It's finally here and Mainers will no doubt be hitting the roadways to get to their favorite lakes, mountains and beaches, but how far are they willing to go?
