Franklin’s Veterans’ organizations, the Edward L. Grant American Legion Post 75, and the Veteran’s of Foreign Wars Post 3402, under the auspices of the Town’s Veterans Council, have developed a program to further honor those who died for our nation, to ensure they are remembered, and their stories are kept alive.
The brief program will include
- the placing of a Memorial Wreath for the day
- the playing of Taps
- a salute from those present
- a reading of whatever history may be available for that veteran
This is a way of keeping the memory of that veteran alive.
The program is conducted on the Town Common along the Veterans Walkway by the granite column of the individual being remembered.
