Please join us for the Centralville Veterans Memorial Park Committees Memorial day observance at Centralville Memorial Park on the boulevard accross from Top Donut on Monday, May 25th beginning at 9am.

This program honors the memories of veterans who have served from Lowell and tge Centralville neighborhood since World War II. A similar monument is located adjacent to the bridge, recognizing those from World War I.

Each year, the Centralville Veterans Memorial Committee organizes a short program that concludes with the laying of wreaths. This observance perpetuates the memories, sacrifices, and service of third names inscribed on the bricks, tablets, and monuments in the park.

So I hope to see many people at this always touching tribute to all of Lowell's Veterans who served in the US military to preserve all of our freedoms.
