Despite the weather, Castiners packed Emerson Hall for today’s Memorial Day ceremony, and several made it down to the waterfront for the wreath-tossing. 🇺🇸
On Memorial Day, we remember that this day is more than just a day off—it is a moment to reflect and give thanks for the people who have given their lives in service to our country and the preservation of our rights. In a time when political tensions are high and the climate of our nation feels fraught, it’s good to pause and remember—it’s not about winning or losing or being the strong man. Today is a day about remembering our past and praying in hope of a brighter future.
Castine is unique in that we always mark the start of the day with our ceremony—perhaps it’s our town’s maritime history that makes this tradition so important to us ⚓️❤️ Thank you to all the towns folk and visitors who joined today, and thank you to our servicemen and women ✨
