Saluting Heroes for Memorial Day 2014 in Massachusetts

From the Mass.gov blog I find these suggestions for "Saluting Heroes for Memorial Day 2014 in Massachusetts"

First established as Decoration Day to observe the sacrifices of those who fought in the Civil War, Memorial Day has become a national holiday to commemorate all men and women who have served in the American military. While there are many ways to celebrate our heroes in the Commonwealth, here are a few things to do this  Memorial Day, May 26: 
  • Go to South Boston’s Fort Independence, North America’s oldest continuously fortified fort, for a free guided tour of the Castle Island stronghold.
