1. Today is Veterans Day. There are three big events: The German Centre for Extended Care will dedicate their Wall of Honor. This is a pictorial and narrative exhibit of members of  the Deutsches Altenheim community who served in the Armed Forces of the US. Refreshments will be served at 9:30 a.m. and the dedication is  scheduled from 10:30 to 11 a.m.;

3. ....and Rolling Thunder, MA Chapter 1 will convene at Millennium Park at 2:45 p.m. They will then ride their motorcycles down the VFW Parkway to Baker Street, reaching their  destination, the Gardens at Gethsemane, to dedicate a bench and boulder with a black granite plaque inserted, calling attention to POW-MIA issues. The dedication of the reflecting park will begin at 3 p.m., right next to the Garden of Honor Veterans area at the cemetery. Joe D'Entremont, President of MA Chapter 1 invites all motorcycle riders to join them.
