Photos/video: Picking up the pieces in Veterans Memorial Park in Lewiston

Matt Landry attaches straps to a Vietnam War memorial stone Friday that was buried under debris after being washed away during Monday’s storm. Landry had a day off and volunteered to help his brother, Nathan, who was operating an excavator. The excavator was provided by Easy Rent-All Corporation, owned by Todd Gendron. The Gendron family has committed to providing whatever is needed to help restore the park. Russ Dillingham/Sun Journal

City workers, business owners, veterans and volunteers begin picking up memorial stones, benches and other items Friday that were damaged by Monday’s flooding at Veterans Memorial Park in Lewiston. L&A Veterans Council Chairman Jerry DeWitt believes most, if not all, of the items have been located. Some are damaged or broken, while others were set back in place. “This is catastrophic but we have a lot of people stepping up to help pick up the pieces and rebuild.” DeWitt said.
