Carmen Footer Obituary, one of Freeport Flag Ladies

Carmen Footer, one of the “Freeport Flag Ladies” passed away Tuesday at the age of 81.

For 18 years, Mainers could count on seeing Footer, Elaine Greene, and Joann Miller at the corner of Maine and School Streets in Freeport.

The women stood on that corner every Tuesday, and on the 11th of every month, after 9/11, waving American flags. When the country went to war with Iraq, they stood there every single day until the war was declared over. The group put its tradition to rest in 2019.
