Participants are representatives from all U.S. armed services, U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Merchant Marines.

Photographs, tintypes, newspaper pictures or illustrations can be mailed to or dropped off to Sarah Glynn with Oxford Hills Law at 197 Park St, Paris, ME 04281. There is a drop-box for after-hours access. Please be sure to include information about picking up or having the image returned. Or email a .jpg image to sarah@oxfordhillslaw.com.
