PLYMOUTH – Memorial Day will be a subdued day of remembrance in Plymouth this year.
With little warning that the state would lift COVID-19 restrictions, local veterans opted to remember its war dead in solemn, but dignified fashion on Monday, May 31.
Rather than the usual parade through downtown to war memorials, a small contingent from VFW Post 1822 and American Legion Post 40 will make the rounds in an refurbished Army jeep, laying wreaths and offering prayers and thanks for those who made the ultimately sacrifice.
The group will lay wreaths, play taps and say a prayer at the Vietnam and Korean War Memorial in front of Town Hall, the World War I Bridge over Town Brook, the Civil War Memorial on the Training Green and the Navy memorial at State Pier on Water Street.
