A Note From A Lisbon Citizen

I just wanted to say a simple thank you to all who posted for both Memorial Day, Our Fallen Troops (Maine), 9-11 Memorial etc.

I grew up in South Portland, but last year I got stationed in Maine for the first time in my 17 year career in the Navy. I got stationed at Brunswick Naval Air Station...now sadly that is closing. I bought a house in Lisbon and I absolutely love it, currently I am deployed and it will be several years until I return..but I have it rented and can't wait to come back Home.

All the people I have ever served with are special to me. Not once have I ever heard a fellow soldier, sailor, marine, or airman ever complain or even think about the big job they are doing...not once have I heard them say "I bet the people back home are appreciating me"..they don't think like that. We as a collective don't think about getting hurt, injured or killed...we are just doing a job.

I was so happy to find your website, So proud to call myself a Mainer and so honored to call myself a Lisbonite and so thank ful for the loving community there, even if the water and sewer departments can't stay together.

I want to thank all the people back home who take care of their sons' car or their daughters' possessions. I want to thank all the people who keep all the businesses running. I want to thank the people who do their job everyday to make their community better.
