Thibault, a 1966 graduate of Hudson High School, was killed by hostile fire in Binh Dinh, Vietnam, on April 2, 1967, two days after his 20th birthday.
Army Lt. Col. David S. Diaz was keynote speaker at the dedication, in addition to state Sen. Jamie Eldridge, state Rep. Kate Hogan, Hudson Selectman chairman John Parent and Kenny’s Hudson High School classmate Jay Murphy, also a Vietnam War veteran. Jason Caron led the Hudson High School band in the national anthem and “God Bless America.” The Color guard was provided by Hudson Police Department and members of Hudson Amvets Post 208, which has been named in Thibault’s memory.
