MIDDLEBORO -- The community gathered Saturday, May 16 to place banners downtown and beyond to honor local veterans.
The banner placement took place, fittingly enough, on Armed Forces Day. Each banner bears the name and service information of a local veteran.
Members of the Middleboro Rotary Club, employees of DelPrete Home Improvements and family members of those honored were among those who participated, along with members of the general public.
The banners will be placed at various locations throughout town.
This will be the town’s fourth year participating in the program. Banners will remain in place through the summer.
