About this event
On Wednesday, November 11 th , the Town of Peterborough will be celebrating Veterans’ Day, which is divided up into three parts and happens rain or shine. At 9:00am at All Saints Church on Concord Street there is a Remembrance Service that lasts about an hour. After the service there is coffee and donuts in the parlor. The Reverand Doctor Jennifer L. Walters will be giving the homily. Local veterans will be reading the psalms and the American Heritage Girls will be singing God Bless America. Wayne Thomas will be doing the last Roll Call for local veterans who have died in the last year. If there is someone you wish to be mentioned please let the church know. Participants in the ceremony are veterans Virginia Moore, John Franklin, Lewis Hansen, Jefferson Allen, Marc Cramer, Brian Barden, and Scott Sleeper along with the United States Naval Sea Cadets as the Color Guard, Jeffrey L. Fuller as the Organist, the Altar Guild and the Minister Jennifer Walters. This is a REMEMBRANCE SERVICE and the public is invited. Last year people shopping in the Toadstool after it said that it was unusual and very worthwhile. At about 10:35 am the Parade will muster in front of Bellows- Nichols and gather across the street at the Library Bridge for the Sea Service which includes a prayer, taps, a volley and tossing a bouquet into the river. Next the parade marches up Main Street into the Peterborough Town House with the South Meadow School Band under the direction of Ed Lowy where they have a program which includes the Band and the American Heritage Girls. The complete program concludes at about 11:11 AM. Everyone is welcome!
