  • The Lawrence Historical Society (LHS) unveiled a new feature in celebration of Lawrence veterans: digitized versions of veteran profiles that were originally published in 1995 in the Lawrence Ledger.

With the cancellation of this year’s Memorial Day Parade, LHS will post a different article each day through Flag Day on their Facebook page.
