ANDROSCOGGIN VALLEY — On the last Monday in May, the country takes a moment to honor those men and women who died in service to the country. From the American Revolution to the Global War on Terror, an estimated 1.3 million Americans have given what Lincoln called “their last full measure of devotion” to preserve the freedom we all enjoy.

The area’s military service organizations will visit the cemeteries and monuments over the Memorial Day weekend to honor their fallen comrades. For those able to join them in mourning those local residents who made the ultimate sacrifice, the dates and times are listed below. Times are approximate and may vary depending on weather.
