Happy birthday Nick, sailor yarns, Valentine spins, Town Notes
The Barnstable Patriot
In recognition of what would have been the 33rd birthday of U.S. Marine Corporal Nicholas G. Xiarhos, his namesake foundation and The Cape Cod Foundation partnered last week to issue $33,000 in community support grants.
"Nicholas lived a life that brought joy and love to people he touched all over the world, a life that was dedicated to serving our great nation and the men and women who defend it," wrote Nicholas' father, Steven. "With your ongoing love and support, the Nicholas G. Xiarhos Memorial Foundation and the Xiarhos Gold Star Family will continue to do everything we can to keep his dedication, his legacy, and his dream alive."
