Merrimack Valley Memorial Day Guide

May 17, 2024

Memorial Day is a day to remember those who died serving in the U.S. military. Take a moment to honor their sacrifice and reflect on the freedoms we enjoy because of their service. Many Merrimack Valley towns have ceremonies honoring our military persons who have died. If you know of any other Memorial Day ceremonies, please email me at cheryllachendro@macaronikid.com.
