There is a Fallen Hero Recognition event today (6/15/24) at 9 AM on the Town Common Veterans Walkway to honor Cpl Elijah H. Coldwell, U.S. Marine Corps.
This
program will include the placing of a Memorial Wreath for the day, the
playing of Taps, a salute from those present, and a reading of whatever
history may be available for that veteran. This is a way of keeping
the memory of that veteran alive.
- Cpl Elijah H. Coldwell, U.S. Marine Corps
Unfortunately, we have not been able to locate any further information about Elijah Coldwell other than he was killed in action on this date in 1918.
