I have tried for many years to bring this to your attention. Even this year, again calling your Commander in Northwood. I have discovered our dad is not the only forgotten vet who has been disrespected.

Please help add my father’s name to your roster or print in the paper where or who I should call to finally, after 15 years, get this matter put to rest. Anchors Away.

Respectfully Submitted,

Paying It Forward

On May 30th I went to the Northwood Hannaford to pick up a few things. I wrote a check at the Pharmacy but had left my ID in my car. I have trouble walking, but told the Pharmacy Technician I would be right back. The woman behind me in line stepped forward to pay for my purchases. I objected, saying it was not a problem, that I could go to my car and return, but she insisted and would not take no for an answer. I repeatedly asked her for her name and address to reimburse her, but she declined to give it to me. She was a kind stranger who will never be forgotten. Many thanks.
