WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA
A very special ceremony to remember the fallen, honor those who serve, and teach our children the value of freedom will be held at St. Patrick's Cemetery on Route 5 at 12:00 Noon. The ceremony will involve the placement of seven ceremonial wreaths near the Veterans’ Memorial Markers in the cemetery. Each wreath will represent a branch of military service--the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Merchant Marine and POW/MIA service men and women.
Special speakers will include Enfield Mayor Scott Kaupin, Theodore Plamondon of the Enfield Veterans Council, and Cynthia Mangini, a member of the Penelope Terry Abbey DAR Chapter and Enfield councilman-at-large. Father John Weaver of St. Patrick's Church will bless the wreaths. Kelly Davis, also a member of the Penelope Terry Abbey chapter, and USAF veteran, will act as Master of Ceremonies.
Following the ceremony, a reception will be held at the Village Center (former Senior Center) located at 100 High Street in Enfield. Light refreshments will be provided by the members of the Penelope Terry Abbey DAR.
Our regular monthly chapter meeting will be held at the Village Center following the reception.
