Media cover hike to remember fallen service members

The Bangor Daily News, WABI (Channel 5) and WVII (Channel 7) covered a hike and memorial ceremony to honor fallen service members from the University of Maine and surrounding communities. On Saturday, 35 hikers carrying 25 stones walked more than seven miles from the Maine Veterans Home in Bangor to UMaine, stopping along the way at the Korean War Memorial at Mount Hope Cemetery, according to the BDN. As part of The Summit Project event, hikers carried engraved memorial stones donated by family members to represent their fallen loved ones. Five former UMaine students, along with 20 other Mainers who served in the military, were remembered during a ceremony that was held outside Fogler Library as part of the event. WGME (Channel 13 in Portland) carried the BDN report.
