Lunenburg Common - Rt 2 town center
This annual event is a time to gather as a community to remember and honor all veterans who have died while defending our nation and its values. It is a day to remind ourselves and others that freedom does not come free and easy; significant prices have been paid for our liberties.
During this time a locally made memorial wreath is placed in front of the Lunenburg Veterans Memorial, a reflection is shared by a local veteran, a benediction offered, and taps played.
