Burlington, ME – Today, U.S. Senator Susan Collins marched in the Burlington/Lowell 4th of July parade in Burlington. Joined by Representative Mathew McIntyre and other Maine legislators, Senator Collins celebrated the holiday with hundreds of Mainers from the Burlington and Lowell area who came to partake in the day’s festivities, which, in addition to the parade, included the annual pancake breakfast, a BBQ lunch, a vendor fair, a disc golf tournament, and concludes with a firework display tonight in Burlington.

“Each Independence Day, we gather to celebrate our great nation and to express our sincere gratitude to the founding generation of Americans who risked everything so that we could live in freedom,” said Senator Collins. “As we come together with family and friends to enjoy parades, fireworks, and festivities, let us also take pause to honor the legacy of those who came before us by continuing to work toward a more perfect union for future generations.”

In addition to her participation in the Burlington/Lowell parade, Senator Collins, along with Senator King, announced last month that the U.S. Navy agreed to send the guided missile destroyer USS Forrest Sherman (DDG-98) to Eastport for their 4th of July celebration today.
