MARBLEHEAD — In a time of divisiveness over ongoing wars, veterans of previous battles came together Friday to share their stories and seek understanding in Congressman Seth Moulton s annual Veterans
This Memorial Day, Iraq War Veteran, and Boston Marathon Bombing hero Command Sergeant Major Bernard Madore of the Massachusetts National Guard addressed roughly 150 veterans and families at Swampscott Cemetery.Madore, still a full-time soldier for the Massachusetts National Guard, served two tours of duty in Iraq. In 2015, former Governor Charlie Baker presented Madore with the Soldier’s Medal the highest award any member can receive for acts of heroism not involving combat or war for his actions during the Boston Marathon Bombing in 2013.After two bombs exploded 100 meters apart from one another at the finish line, Madore rushed toward the danger, established a secure perimeter, and helped police and first responders render medical aid to the wounded.
