7, age of boy who was struck and killed as he crossed a street in Bristol Township last night.

Today’s Upper: If you see a vet today, offer a salute. If you’re in Media, stop by the Veterans Museum, where they will hold an event at 10 a.m. to mark the anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack. It’s the least we can do.
