 BIG TURNOUT AT THE 2013 NORTON VETERANS DAY PARADE

On a Windy and nippy day in Norton, residents young and

old came out to the Norton Veterans Day Parade today in Downtown Norton and everyone had the people that served their country and put their lives on the line for the country in the time of war and when the country went into battle during the times of war for the Country and the Norton Veterans Day Parade marchers consisted of Norton Veterans that served their country, Town Manager Michael Yuntis, Norton Board of Selectmen members Mary Steele and Robert Kimball and Tim Giblin and myself marched in the parade and the Norton Police Honor Guard and the Massachusetts 20th Infantry Regiment and Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts from the Norton area and the Apponequet Regional High School band that performed the music in the parade and the Parade followed it’s usual route by marching to the Pine Street Ceremony where Herbert Church dedicated the World War I cannon that sat down on the Norton American Legion post 222 that standed in front of the place until it closed on April 6th, 2013 and after that the Parade went to the Norton Common for the Veterans day parade and the usual prayers and speeches by Town Manager Yuntis and Mr. Kimball and prayers by Marc Tremblay, fire chaplain and prayers by Reverend Bernard Hinckley, the pastor at the Trinitarian Church in Norton and made a stop at the Trent Memorial after that went back to the Yelle School for Hot Dogs and refreshments and I had a good time at the parade and I supported the town and the fine men and women that served their country in the time of wars and it was a great parade and a good time for Nortonites young and old. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!
