The public is invited to attend the annual Stratham Veterans Day
service on Saturday, Nov. 11. The service will begin at 10:40 a.m. at
the Memorial Garden in Stratham Hill Park.
The Stratham Volunteer Fire Department Rifle Squad and Honor Guard will be joined by the Stratham Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts to honor all those who served in the military. Representing the veterans in the community will be Stratham residents Walter Smyk, Korean War veteran, and Maurice Alexander, veteran of World War II. Rev. David Dodge of the Stratham Community Church will offer prayers in recognition of those who have served. Immediately following the service, there will be a brief ceremony to unveil two plaques installed to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the park. As she did at the first plaque unveiling in 1920, Nan Pearson will join with members of the Celebration Committee and the Park Association to mark this final event in the park’s 100th year celebration.
