 +<code> 
 +To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the end of WWII,  
 +a committee was formed to honor those that served. 
 + 
 +Lexington Remembers is a program started by a high school teacher  
 +and long time Lexington resident Mary Gillespie in 1993  
 +(on the 50th Anniversary of WWII) and it has been 
 +continued by Francine and Bob Edwards since 2006. 
 + 
 +We are now adding to the existing list of 50+ recordings  
 +in the Lexington Remembers collection and identifying  
 +prospective Lexingtonians to be interviewed and recorded.  
 + 
 +Our initial focus is to identify and interview 
 +surviving Lexington’s WWII veterans.  
 +Some lived here and went into service, while others moved to 
 +Lexington after the war. 
 + 
 +These videos are their stories.
