Barry O’Brien Memorial Day for Essex Veterans

FOB Len Burgess sent me this link and information from Barry O’Brien

 

Good Morning Len.

 

Attached is the Video created by the Essex Veterans.

 

I would greatly appreciate it if you could get this posted on Good Morning Gloucester in time for memorial day. It would be great it it went up tonight and stayed up through Monday, with the idea of people being able to share it throughout the weekend.

 

Here is the copy that goes with it:

Memorial Day is a special holiday set aside to honor military personnel who’ve fought and died for our freedom. The veterans of Essex Massachusetts have created this virtual Memorial Day service  to carry on the tradition as safely as possible.

We hope that this will allow you to celebrate and remember with us, wherever you are. This is for all veterans and their families who have  given everything for our freedom.

This year, let us also remember those who fight for us every day during these unprecedented times of COVID-19.

Thank you for watching and sharing this virtual ceremony of honor with others.

If the file of the video, which is big, is too hard to deal with, the file can be downloaded directly from: https://vimeo.com/418638853

Thank you, Len!

A walk in the woods

We are so lucky to have woods and hiking trails right off the beach.  On Tuesday afternoon it was so nice to take a walk to the beach and through the woods.

 

Happy Birthday to the best, Pauline Bresnahan

A stranded deer in the rocks and ocean on Shore Road

As I got there was told there were four deer swimming from Kettle Island and got caught up in the current and were tired.  Three were able to swim towards Magnolia Beach, this poor one, people thought she may be the mom, was stuck in the rocks with the current.  The Environmental Police, Gloucester Police and Animal Control were trying to help.  The Environmental police officer stated that because the tide was coming in hopefully she could get herself back on Shore.  Also I must add, there were three young boys on the rocks named Theo, Kellen and Owen who were so kind and very helpful to the Environmental police.  Hope this deer is ok.
