Each year, for the past several years, the Medway Memorial Committee has hosted a Veterans Day celebration to honor all local veterans. This year, it will be an extra special celebration as it honors two and a half centuries of courage, sacrifice, and service by America’s veterans. 

All veterans, active-duty service members, their families, and the community are invited and encouraged to attend a Veterans Day ceremony on Tues., Nov. 11, at 11 a.m. at the Medway Parks & Recreation Building at 123 Holliston Street. There is ample parking and handicap accessibility. 

A luncheon will follow the short ceremony. There is no need to RSVP. 

“We’re really encouraging all veterans to come to the event,” said Richard Parrella, a member of the Medway Memorial Committee, which hosts the event. “We’re doing this for them, to honor their service, and this year especially because it’s 250 years.”
