CARIBOU, Maine – U.S. Sen. Susan Collins returned to her hometown Friday to honor Maine’s military heroes for a special Veterans Day ceremony.
Collins, a native of Caribou, is no stranger to the stories of veterans’ sacrifices. Her father, the late Donald F. Collins, served as a member of the 87th infantry in Europe during World War II. He was wounded at age 19 during the Battle of the Bulge, the last major German counteroffensive as the Allied armies closed in on Berlin. He received two Purple Hearts for his service.
