With new format, more people honor veterans at Jay service

VFW Post 3335 Judge Advocate Jim Manter explains the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day Friday afternoon, Nov. 11, at the post in Jay. Also seen from left are color guard members John Dube, Rick Merrill, Clyde Pingree, Larry Bilodeau and David Lachapelle. This year veterans from VFW, AMVETS and American Legion and their auxiliaries held one service at the VFW flagpole rather than holding services at memorials in Jay, Livermore, Livermore Falls and Fayette.
