On Monday, 29 May 2023 the public is invited to join with American Legion Post 18 in marking Memorial Day with a short parade and a brief ceremony at Dockside in Wolfeboro.

All veterans are urged to gather at Brewster Field [Pickering Corner] between 08:30 and 09:00.  Molly the Trolley will be available to transport those veterans and members of the public who are unable to march in the parade.  Then at 09:00 the veterans accompanied by the Kingswood High School Band will march down South Main Street and turn onto Dockside.  Everyone will gather in Cate Park around the Band Stand. 

The Post 18 Chaplain will say a prayer.  Then the Daughters of the American Revolution will recite a patriotic poem.  The Boy Scouts will lead the public in saying the Pledge of Allegiance.  One of the Daughters will lead the public in singing the National Anthem.  While the Boy Scouts will lower the flag to half-staff, echo taps will be played. Finally there will be a ceremonial firing salute while the American Legion Auxiliary scatters petals into Lake Winnipesaukee.

Before dispersing, there will be a few words on the significance of the occasion by the Post Commander.

All veterans are invited to join with Post 18 to march down South Main Street to the ceremonies at Dockside.

Please feel free to direct any questions to Paul Vivian at (703) 798-8978 or paulhv@aol.com or Tom Southern at (317) 432-1517 or tsouthern@aol.com.

American Legion Harriman-Hale Post 18 with assistance from the Winnipesaukee Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution will lead a Memorial Day Ceremony in Wolfeboro on 30 May 2022. Memorial Day is a federal holiday for mourning the U.S. military personnel who have died while serving in the United States armed forces. Originally called Decoration Day, Memorial Day started in 1868 as a way to commemorate those killed in the Civil War. Memorial Day was later expanded to commemorate all those killed in America’s subsequent wars. READ MORE
