The Milford Veterans Day Parade route ended with a special ceremony in Draper Park today! The weather could not have been better and the wind was a perfect touch! The ceremony marked not only the selfless service of all veterans, but also recognized some local veterans. One hundred US flags adorned the park, each one sponsored by a resident in honor of a loved one. Along with a brief presentation and a prayer for all veterans, the Milford High School (Massachusetts) Marching Band played the anthem for each branch of the military. We also had a very special 10-year-old, Sophia McClay, perform 'The Star Spangled Banner.' What a beautiful voice! Thanks to the Milford Corps of the Salvation Army for partnering with us for this very successful event honoring the best among us!
