On Saturday, Nov. 11, community members, town officials and veterans and their families attended the Veterans Day Observance held by the Williston-Richmond Rotary Club in the War Memorial Park that lies between Town Hall and the Town Hall Annex.
Williston Federated Church Pastor Paul Eyer offered an invocation, Rotary President Susan Cote delivered remarks, and the names of local veterans were read aloud. A letter sent by U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders for the occasion was shared.
Attention was drawn to the brick patio that fronts the granite memorial where an increasing number of engraved bricks display the names of veterans. Anyone wishing to honor a veteran, living or dead, with an engraved brick to be installed in the patio is invited to contact Phil Stevens at philipsstevens@gmail.com to learn more.
The event was recorded by Town Meeting TV and will be available for viewing on their website.
