The threat of rain did not keep our proud Burrillville residents from coming out to pay homage to our fallen hero's today at Freedom Park.. First of all, what a fantastic audition for "America's Got Talent" by our Burrillville High School band and singing division who did not leave a dry eye in the crowd. We under estimate our School's pride in our Civic Events and the look in every students eyes when our proud veterans did anything part of the program with the placing of the wreath and reading of our fallen soldiers or the perfectly drilled veterans doing their part of the program headed up by Teddy Hebert Jr. , Ron Lappeire and Councilmen Ray Trinque and David Place. State Rep. Dist 47 Cale Keable related a great story from our 2nd President John Adams that resonated with the entire crowd, young or old. I could not help but think about a special birthday today of my friend John F. Kennedy who would of turned 100 today and somehow I felt his presence looking down on Harrisville, RI New residents in attendance I over heard saying this Town is really cool how they remember the fallen and I hope our young kids want to play a instrument. The residents were all well dressed and very polite to every veteran and Thanked everyone for their time in the Service protecting all of us. Photo Credits to Lana Luz Miller.
