Evan Hunter, who is 10, got his mother and 27 volunteers together in Bucksport on Saturday and wrote thank-you cards to veterans. They filled out 1,100 of them. The family has held the same writing day every year since 2020.

The cards are notes, not a program. The count is how many they finished in that one sitting, with the same group of neighbors coming back each year.
