ROCKLAND — This year's Midcoast Maine Veterans Memorial tile dedication ceremony will dedicate 24 newly mounted tiles representing 25 individuals from the Midcoast area who served in the Armed Forces of the United States of America. Among the tiles to be dedicated is one for a brave son of Rockland who was lost in the South Pacific during WW2 and another for 2 Rockland brothers who joined the U.S. Marine Corps and fought in WW2.
The ceremony, at Midcoast Maine Veterans Memorial, will take place at will

It is suggested that you bring a folding chair.
“There will be some chairs provided by the Legion Post but, if past attendance is any indication, they will not be enough to handle the expected crowd,” said Sulin.
