<br /> <br />Memorial Day 2013 Update <br /> <br />Suzie recapped Sam Doran and Ryan Lennon’s finding of five unmarked graves of Civil <br /> <br />War veterans in Munroe Cemetery, reporting that application has been made to the <br />Veterans Administration for placement of a gravestone at each site. <br /> <br />Suzie found that the walk-through of the changes to this year’s parade route through <br /> <br />the cemetery and additional activity there was very helpful. The five recently-identified <br />gravesites will have a wreath placed and individual volley sounded. The changes <br />lengthen the program by approximately 15-20 minutes. <br /> <br />Chief Marshal. A suggestion was made to give this honor to a descendant of one of the <br /> <br />five families of the recently-identified Civil War veterans. <br /> <br />Speaker. Two possibilities are to either invite (1) a representative from the Veterans <br /> <br />Administration to speak on the topic of the process involved for recognizing each of the <br />men for his service, finding descendants, etc. or (2) Sam Doran, member of the Lt. Col. <br />John W. Hudson Club of Lexington <br />(an organization of “male descendants of Union soldiers <br /> <br />and sailors who served honorably in the Civil War 1861-1865”). <br /> <br />Clergy. Fr. Arnold Colletti, Pastor, St. Brigid and Sacred Heart parishes, will be the <br /> <br />representing clergy. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned at 8:40 pm <br />Respectfully submitted by Sandy Podgorski <br /> <br />
