Bar Harbor Veterans Day Honors Service and Local Stories

Annual ceremonies at the American Legion and Blue Star Memorial honor those who served while keeping generations of local stories alive. Carrie Jones just now The Bar Harbor Story is generously sponsored by Window Panes Home and Garden. BAR HARBOR—Veterans Day in Bar Harbor was marked not only by wreaths, prayers, and moments of silence, but also by shared stories, familiar faces, and the quiet connections that keep the memories of those who served alive. In a room filled with photographs, artifacts, and the memories of generations of service members, an empty chair offered a quiet reminder of those who could no longer be present as Bar Harbor gathered to honor its veterans, November 11. Bits of the veterans’ stories are on the walls of George Edwin Kirk Post 25 of the American Legion on Cottage Street. Sepia-toned photos of men poised in uniforms look back at you as you walk by. Buttons, artifacts, memories are carefully displayed.
