I just wanted to give you an update on the Jeremy Gilley story.
 
I will be meeting with representatives of the Waterville Home Depot on Friday to go out to Jeremy's home and look at remodling the bathroom and building wheelchair acces for him.  I will be taking pictures so i can forward them to you for the website if you like.
 
Also there are two benefit dinners planned that are so far getting large support from the surrounding communities.  The first is on February 12 from 5-7pm at the Palermo school it is a spaghetti supper.  The second is on February 25 from 5-7pm at the American Legion Hall in Belfast.  That dinner is pot luck if anyone wants to donate food they should contact me via email or my cell phone 207-505-1131.

                                              4 Chap;ains Services

 

The VA Maine Healthcare System Chaplain Service is offering a very special program in the Togus Chapel called “THE FOUR CHAPLAINS CEREMONY” at 11:30am on Thursday, Feb. 02.

 

The Four Chaplains Ceremony commemorates four multi-denominational military Chaplains who unselfishly sacrificed their lives on February 3, 1943 when a German submarine torpedoed their ship, USS Dorchester. Four men of different faiths heroically and calmly encouraged their shipmates to abandon ship and gave away their own lifejackets when the supply was exhausted.  All four posthumously received a Purple Heart and the Distinguished Service Cross.

 

Special music will be provided by St. Michael’s School 4th and 5th Grade classes.  Veterans and the general public are cordially invited to attend.
