Share The quiet hung over the Southern Maine Veterans Memorial Cemetery like a silent prayer. The American flag, high atop a 100-foot pole, barely moved in the soft spring breeze. The headstones stood in perfect military precision, just like the veterans beneath them once did. “It’s an amazing place, isn’t it?” Christine Pratt said. “When I walk around at lunch and I see the people that I helped … it’s nice.”
