The American flag draped over the casket was folded by members of the Newton VFW and handed to Michelle Franco, who sat near her husband s gravesite in tears, with her son, Jace, on her lap. Her son, Kyle, stood behind her and grasped her shoulder, wiping away his
“Sometimes I wish I could move to another state where there’s no water around,” she said.
The water is a constant, creeping threat in Atlantic City, where the sea level rise has caused an increase in sunny day flooding. These days, it only takes a particularly high tide, which reaches more than a foot higher than it did a century ago, for water to spill onto the city’s streets.
