BRTV to broadcast veterans tribute slideshow May 28-30

The Boothbay Region Memorial Day slide presentation, as put together by veteran Jim Singer of Southport, is a compilation of 578 individual slides honoring Boothbay region veterans who have died since 2010. These remarkable women and men have been associated in some way (born, grew up, lived here full-time or summer, worked here, or have some other connection) with Southport, Boothbay, Boothbay Harbor or Edgecomb. All photos and information came from public sources, with many from the Boothbay Register, Sarah Sherman McGrail's books, and Facebook.

Jonne Trees from BRTV will be broadcasting the presentation on Channel 7 (which is about an hour long) this Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, May 28-30, at the following times: 8 a.m., noon, 3 p.m., 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. American Legion Post 36 will also be showing it at their post-Memorial Day parade luncheon at the Legion Hall in Boothbay on Monday, May 30.

Memorial Day is not a day of celebration. It is a time for soberly remembering those individuals who have served in the Armed Forces from our region and have passed away and a time to be grateful for the sacrifices and contributions they have made for all of us. We are all grateful for their service.
