BRUNSWICK
A group of teenagers in the Jason Dunham Navy Sea Cadet Corps will socialize with the residents of Sunnybrook Village retirement community on Veterans Day.
The youths are civilians but interested in a military career, likely either the U.S. Navy or Coast Guard. They take their name from the Bath Iron Works-built destroyer U.S.S. Jason Dunham, DDG-109, launched in August 2009 and commissioned Nov. 11, 2010.
The Sea Cadet Corps will present a color guard, a slide show of their “mission” and spend time visiting the residents, many of whom served in World War II and the Korean War.
