FUTURE EVENTS
2018 Remembrance Ceremony
Dear Beirut Families, Veterans and Friends,
“A Time For Remembrance” will be held at the Massachusetts Beirut Memorial at Christopher Columbus Park, 100 Atlantic Avenue, Boston, on Sunday, October 14, 2018 at 1:00 P.M. We’ve selected this date so as not to conflict with the plans of anyone wishing to attend the Observances at Camp Lejeune the following weekend.
As this is the 35th Anniversary, this Remembrance will be a bit more momentous with speakers, music and an honor guard to name a few things. Plans are still being finalized.
This will be a fitting gesture of remembrance for those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, “… lest they be forgotten”.
If you cannot attend the Observance on October 14th please feel free to stop by the Memorial at a time that is convenient for you. Your presence there anytime is appreciated, but most especially on that day to honor the memory of our fallen heroes.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us:
Chris Devlin – 781-326-9010, devlinc928@gmail.com or Chrissie Devlin – 781-888-1507, chrissie.devlin@gmail.com
Please pass this information on to anyone that may not be on Facebook. -Thank you. God Bless Our Troops
