Dear fellow Hanoverians:
This just in from American Legion Commander and Spirit of Hanover Community
Service Award winner Ray A. Miller:
The Hanover Memorial Day Parade will kick off from Saint Mary’s rectory at
10:00 a.m. sharp on May 30th so come out and get a good spot. The parade
will be led by the veterans followed by the Ladies Auxiliary and Sons of
Legion. A donated automobile will drive some veterans who cannot walk. The
town officials will also be walking followed by the Hanover High School
Band. The Police and Fire Departments will follow the Hanover High School
Band with new and antique fire trucks. The Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts
follow as well as Little Leaguers and Softball players. Coming along behind
will be some antique cars and last but not least is a Calvary-dressed
person on a horse.
The march will begin at Saint Mary’s and pass by the first ever “Flags of
Valor” near the new bandstand. The veterans will stop off at the first
memorial at Sylvester School to honor the WWI veterans. The second stop
will be at First Congregational Church to honor the Civil War veterans. We
will then march to the Hanover Center Cemetery where we will honor several
sites including Joselyn and Cummings as well as the American Legion, VFW
and Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. We will also honor all fallen heroes from
the Police Department and Fire Department.
The march will continue out of the cemetery and conclude at the Hanover
Town Hall to recognize the WWII, Vietnam and Korean Veterans. The ceremony
will conclude by a moment of silence, speeches from various dignitaries and
the Commander of the American Legion. The Hanover High VOX will sing
patriotic songs as well as the Hanover High School Band will be playing
some patriotic tunes.
