Today We Honor Our Veterans

Thank You to Our Veterans and current Service Members—

This Veterans Day, we pause to honor and recognize the courageous individuals who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Their dedication, sacrifice, and commitment to protecting our freedoms have shaped our communities and our country in countless ways.

At the Bridgton Public Library, we are grateful for the veterans in our region and across the nation—those who served in years past and those who continue to serve today. Whether in peacetime or times of hardship, here at home or abroad, your contributions and sacrifices have made a lasting impact here in our community. We thank you for your sacrifice and stand with you in solidarity this day and always. 

If you are interested in learning more about veterans’ experiences and stories, please stop by the Circulation Desk this week and ask for some recommendations. Our staff would be glad to assist you in finding telling memoirs, classic histories, and other materials that honor and reflect the voices of those who have served and defended our freedom.

To all veterans and military families reading this we say: thank you.
Your service matters. Your stories matter. You matter.

You make this community a better place.
