From the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund:
| This Summer, Slow Down and Move Over | ||||||
Just this month, three U.S. law enforcement officers— California Highway Patrol Officer Philip Ortiz (June 22), Massachusetts State Police Sergeant Doug Weddleton (June 18), and New Jersey State Trooper Marc Castellano (June 6)—have been struck and killed by motorists as the officers were outside their vehicles. These and other tragedies are sober reminders of the dangers officers face on the side of America’s roadways, especially during the summer months when more people are driving and more officers are out on patrol to keep us safe. You, your family members and neighbors can do something to help protect our officers—beginning with slowing down and moving over one lane of traffic when you see a police cruiser or any emergency vehicle stopped along the side of the road. For more information and tips, visit the Memorial Fund’s Drive Safely Campaign, and sign our Drive Safely pledge today. |

A CALL TO HELP RECOGNIZE THE SACRIFICES OF OUR NATIONS VETERANS:
THE
MAINE
MILITARY MUSEUM & LEARNING
The old engineering
building located in Mill Creek Park in the City of South Portland is now the
home of military artifacts and uniforms honoring Maine veterans from all wars
and of peacetime service. The centerpiece will be the largest display of Vietnam
POW items ever seen in the United States, comprised of actual POW uniforms and
artifacts made in prison which were smuggled out at release, such as a small
Christian Cross, a bamboo rosary, the Chinese lock & chain used to hold a
prisoner in his cage, secret writing on toilet paper and cigarette wrappers, art
work done after Homecoming and much, much more.
I currently have two major
displays at the Smithsonian Museum, (American Museum of History and the Air
& Space Museum) in Washington, DC., one at the Richard M. Nixon
Library in California, one at Naval Air Station Lakehurst, NJ, with a major
upcoming exhibit on Ford Island in Pearl Harbor, as well as items at the
Wright-Paterson AFB Museum.
MAP's
members are invited to participate in
this great effort to honor our veterans. If you have uniforms, patches, insignia, medals,
war souvenirs, books, paperwork, truly anything military, which are currently
gathering dust in attics and closets, please consider donating them to the
museum. Here in this museum your artifacts will be
displayed with your name and thus your service will be forever honored.
The items being requested
are not limited to Maine veterans only, but to anyone who served this nation,
making this a special place for future generations to learn your story and that
of your families, not Hollywood’s version.
Monetary
donations are also gratefully accepted and are 501 (3)(c) tax deductible.
Donations should be made out to:
MAINE MILITARY MUSEUM
AND LEARNING CENTER

“I was that which others did not want to be. I went where others feared to go, and did what others failed to do. I asked nothing from those who gave nothing, and reluctantly accepted the fact of eternal loneliness should I fall. I have seen the face of terror and felt the stinging cold of fear. I have loved, cried, suffered, and hoped, but most of all, I have lived times others would say were “best forgotten”. At least some day I will be able to say that I was proud of what I was - A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER!” (Source; Unknown Author)
