Baptist Church, opened with a prayer.

day that you have given us to remember
these brave men and women who gave
the ultimate sacrifice in service to their
country and their community. We lift up
the families they have left behind and
ask that you draw them close to your

with each day,” he said.
State Senator James Skoufis said
many often misunderstand the meaning
of Memorial Day.
“It is a day to remember those who
have fallen and have given their lives for
this country,” he said. “My hope is that
this event in the Town of Marlborough
lasts in perpetuity. It’s something that
we need, it is something that is clearly
cherished by the community and I thank
