Last November, you may have noticed that the Gold Star Bridge at Park and Main was decorated with banners recognizing service members from Presque Isle who died in wars since the Korean War.  If you happened to drive across the bridge as the purple autumn twilight fell on Veterans’ Day, you may have spotted a line of white luminaries glowing on the sidewalk, one for each veteran from Presque Isle who did not return home.  

The Presque Isle Downtown Revitalization Committee is introducing a new program for the downtown for the summer – a Veterans’ Banner Program. The banners will feature and honor military veterans who served our country.

For many people who visited the historic James School, hearing the Declaration of Independence spoken aloud was like traveling back in time.
