NORTH READING — Monday, November 11 is Veterans’ Day and the entire community is welcome to attend a traditional Veterans’ Day ceremony on the Town Common near the war memorials promptly at 11 a.m.
The event will be hosted by the town’s new Veterans’ Service Officer TJ Tedeschi, U.S. Marine Corps (Ret.), and the Veterans Event Committee.
The guest speaker will be Lt. Col. Kyle Bush, USMC (Ret.) who, according to Tedeschi, is “a helicopter pilot with extensive combat experience in the Middle East, to include numerous Marine Expeditionary Unit deployments aboard LHDs.”
One such tour was conducted in 2007 with Tedeschi aboard the LHD-5, USS Bataan. Bush also served as a Marine One pilot for both Presidents Trump and Biden.
There will also be a performance by the NRHS Marching Band and various other speakers.
This past Monday night the Select Board issued a proclamation naming November 2024 as Veterans and Military Families Appreciation Month.
