Dozens gathered Saturday morning to remember and raise awareness. The paint on Linda Jacobs' sign was still wet when she arrived at the Mendenhall Wetlands viewing area in Juneau on Saturday morning. Jacobs said she didn't mind and, alongside more than a dozen other Juneau residents who attended the third-annual Orange Shirt Day morning flag wave, she waved it proudly to cars passing by as the paint dripped down. 'I'm here for all my grandparents, my family and the stories about what happened to them when they were growing up,' she said.
