Today, on Veterans Day, we honor those who are serving and who have served in the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Massachusetts National Guard and Space Force. We honor our family members, our friends and our neighbors – many of whom gathered with us today at American Legion Nonantum Post 440. We honor Americans by birth and by citizenship, Americans of all races and all backgrounds who throughout our history raised their arm and took the oath to selflessly, honorably, bravely defend our democracy, defend our freedom, and defend the Constitution of the United States.
