Veterans of lesser-recognized conflicts and public safety officials were the focus of a Memorial Day filled with remembrance, grief and jubilation.
On a day meant to be national day of recognition for those who gave their lives for the country, Hampton-area residents, veterans and officials paid special attention Monday to a oft-overlooked group of individuals.

Post 35 issued this in the wake of the Greenland shootings.
On behalf of The American Legion POST 35 Legionnaires: We want to extend our most sincere condolences and prayers to the families of Chief Mike Maloney, and the other 4 officers who were wounded in the tragic shooting in Greenland on Thursday April 12th.

We would ask that all who live here on the seacoast to say a prayer for all the victims and their families tonight as we all try and make sense of this awful day in our Seacoast history. We will all hold…
