All of us at WASR wish you and your family a happy Memorial Day!

Americans all across the country will be celebrating and observing the real reason for the holiday weekend on Monday…to honor those who gave their life and those who served our country in the military to make our freedom possible.  Be sure to thank all veterans you see.  

In the United States this weekend is also the unofficial start of summer, with lots of seasonal businesses opening and lots of people on the road to be with family for beach going and barbecues.  Be safe.  

Most towns have Memorial Day observances. In Wolfeboro a Memorial Day parade will take place starting at 10am at Brewster Field on South Main Street with a flag ceremony. It will then proceed to Carpenter School, Wolfeboro Post Office and the town docks for wreath laying ceremonies. For more information you can contact Harold Chamberlain of American Legion Harriman-Hale Post 18 at 569-4296.  

For Memorial Day services in other towns, contact your town hall, police department or American Legion.  

GOD BLESS AMERICA
