As the Fourth of July weekend rolls on, a special event was held on Saturday in Lower Paxton Township to honor those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Dozens of people braved the heat to honor veterans and first responders on this Fourth of July weekend during the Dauphin County Heroes Grove celebration. The celebration featured the reading of the Declaration of Independence, a salute to the flag celebration, and a leading of the Pledge of Allegiance by a group of newly minted U.S.
Justin Fleming, whose father served in the Air Force, says is important to have, particularly during the Fourth of July weekend. 'It's really, really critical that we continue to remember that, and especially at a time like Independence Day where we think about the United States of America and the freedoms we do have. It didn't come easy, and it was hard fought, and we continue to this day to earn those freedoms that we have every single day,' Fleming said.
