Past Events / News
The 2019 Gouldsboro Memorial Day Program was in the village of Prospect Harbor within the town of Gouldsboro. We had a wonderful parade with milder weather that kept the black flies away.
Our singers and musicians performed flawlessly. The ceremony was a wonderful tribute to the memory of those who gave their all. Linda Lajoie's passionate and personal Silhouette Project reminds us that not all casualties of war are remembered. 22 veterans and 1 active duty person chooses suicide as their last option everyday. Pastor David Broadbent delivered a very eloquent Invocation and Benediction in our program. At the end the entire community gathered and sang Taps. Our thanks goes out to everyone who marched, drove, and participated in the making of this parade, and attended our ceremony. Click here for a video of the program. |
