The Medway Memorial Committee has completed arrangements for the upcoming Veterans Day ceremonies on November 11, 2024, at the VFW, 123 Holliston St.
Along with our ceremonies honoring the men and women serving in the US military, we will have a special guest speaker, Dr. Vincent Arone of Hopedale. Dr. Arone was was a member of the Army Air Force, serving in the Central Pacific theater as a Belly Gunner radio operator on the AB-24 Bomber of the 42nd Bomber Squadron, achieving the rank of Staff Sergeant. He enlisted in September 1942 and until December 1, 1945. 103-year-old Dr. Arone is the last surviving member of his aircrew on the Belle of Texas! Dr. Arone's story is exciting and enlightening.
All veterans are invited to this ceremony to honor their service to our nation.
