Each summer evening, from Memorial Day through Labor Day (plus 9-11, Veterans Day and Pearl Harbor Day), dedicated volunteers gather in Veterans Memorial Park in Old Orchard Beach for an open air raising of the U.S. flag in honor of a deceased veteran. The short (15-20 minute) ceremony begins at 6:00 p.m. and includes a musical and spoken word tribute. Ceremony volunteers, local residents and vacationing tourists pause at this time to recognize a veteran, many with ties to Maine. Pick any summer evening to head over to Memorial Park and join others in honoring American veterans. FMI, visit the group's Facebook page.
