WAGRAM —Mayor Barbara Pierce said Monday that shortly after she was elected to head the town of Wagram someone expressed their concern that “nothing has ever been done for the veterans” in the town.
“I didn’t make a promise but I told them ‘We’ll see about it,’ cause I don’t make promises that I might not be able to keep,” Pierce said.
With hundreds gathered at the Wagram Recreation Center Monday on the 11th hour, on the 11th day of the 11th month of year, also known as Veterans Day, the Town of Wagram
“seen about it” with the town’s inaugural Veterans Day Celebration. The program came on the heels of a Veterans parade that marched along Marlboro Street.
Rep. Garland Pierce presided over the ceremony.
“This nation under god depends on each generation accepting the call to serve both God and country. Everywhere we look, we’re reminded of the commitment our veterans made to present their bodies as a living sacrifice so today we honor them,” Rep. Garland Pierce said. “Thank you!”
