To Honor the Veterans of All American Wars
Both past and Present
For They Have Blessed Us
With Freedom by Their Service
This event includes a brief ceremony, a remembrance walk (one mile), and the presentation of the Walk of Honor Warrior Award.
“This year the Walk of Honor is paying tribute to the World War II veterans. It is only fitting with the 70th anniversary and with how rapidly we are losing our WWII veterans, that we let them know how much we appreciate them,” said Mary Teicholz, founder and organizer of the event.

Sixty years ago this summer, two hurricanes slammed New England in close sequence…delivering a one-two punch that nearly wiped some towns off the map. Connie arrived first, deviating to the west well south of the region but dumping large quantities of precipitation. This turned out to be an unpleasant prelude for Diane, which arrived a few days later, on August 18-19, dumping between 13 and 20 inches of rain and causing massive flooding. It’s an event that remaining survivors will never forget.
Presenter: McCarthy Earls is a historical author who has worked on hurricane research with the Coastal Systems Research Group at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts. He holds a dual-major bachelor’s degree (history and geology) from the University of Massachusetts.
Books will be available for purchase and signing.
