Freeport Flag Ladies Last Stand

Mainers celebrate 18 years of 'Freeport Flag Ladies' as they make one last stand

FREEPORT, Maine — After 18 years of flying the red, white and blue proudly in downtown Freeport every week, the iconic 'Flag Ladies' will make their last stand Wednesday.

Elaine Greene, Joann Miller, and Carmen Foote will stand at the corner of Main and School Streets starting at 8 a.m.

The weekly tradition was born out of the tragedy of September 11, 2001, to honor the men and women who sacrifice for our country every day by standing with flags and waving to those passing by.
