GREENFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – Agawam honored its veterans at an unusual location on Monday.
The ceremony was held at the Massachusetts Veteran’s Memorial Cemetery.
Lawmakers joined veterans on the lawn to thank them for their services.
Congressman Richard Neal told 22NEWS why the Massachusetts Veteran’s Memorial Cemetery was the appropriate place for Monday’s ceremony.
“It’s a marvelous resting place for those who served America in perilous moments. I think there are really a small number of veterans’ cemeteries across Massachusetts.”
The Massachusetts Veteran’s Memorial Cemetery is one of two veterans’ cemeteries in the state where eligible veterans can be buried at no cost.
