Veterans Day is tomorrow, November 11th, 2020, and according to an email we received from Connie Hanson, it looks like several churches in Maine's Capital City will be tolling their bells 11 times in honor of all of those who have served.

On Nov. 11, the United States of America celebrates Veterans Day, set aside to honor all of the country's veterans.
But the holiday is not exclusively an American one, countries all over the world also honor their veterans today, and for a very specific reason.
Across the country on Monday, Americans observed Veterans Day, commemorating the service of its military men and women, active and retired, or killed in action.
Today is Veteran's Day. Today is a day we remember and reflect on all of who served and all the sacrifices our military have gone through to keep us free. We remember those lost in Vietnam, the two world wars, Korea and more recently in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I try to thank veterans for their service whenever I see them, whether it be at a restaurant, in a store or just passing by on the street. Today, ALL Americans should take time to thank a veteran, wherever you see them. Without their unselfish service, none of us would be walking around, enjoying the freedom we do. It is for them I've written and send this tribute...
Today (Nov. 11) is Veterans Day, when we're supposed to stop and think about the men and women who've sacrificed to keep us safe. Which is why the timing of this story is pretty amazing.
Yesterday was Veteran's Day. In some ways so is today but to some degree should really be everyday. On the left is a picture of my maternal grandfather Alexander Wm. Keema Jr. who served and died in WWII.
