Fallen Hero Recognition is conducted each date that one of the 45 were reported to have died. All recognitions are held at 9 AM on the Town Common Veterans Walkway.
The brief program (approx. 5 minutes) includes the placing of a Memorial Wreath for the day, a reading of whatever history may be available for that veteran, a salute from those present, and the playing of Taps.
This is a way of keeping the memory of that veteran alive. The public and any family members are welcome to attend.
April9 - Joseph R. Paulette - Vietnam9 - Russell W. Shaw - Vietnam17 - John J. Kell - WWII30 - John E. Pasquantonio - Vietnam
The program is a collaboration of 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.
