New state memorial unveiled - Fosters


New state memorial unveiled - Fosters: "POW/MIAs, veterans, and the families of service people were honored during this year's vigil at Hesky Park where the newly declared state memorial to the lost and missing was officially unveiled.

The ceremony took place after Thursday's Freedom Ride which started at Lowe's Plaza in Gilford and ended at Hesky Park.

Combat veterans stood by the memorial next to Blue and Gold Star Mothers at the beginning of the ceremony. A C130 aircraft — a plane that makes regular stops at the South Pole — flew overhead and soon was followed by a medic helicopter from the New Hampshire Army National Guard."
