Honoring Our POW/MIA Heroes







This morning, I was honored to join Sheriff Kevin Coppinger and the Essex County Sheriff's Department for their annual POW/MIA Recognition Ceremony, a solemn reminder of the Massachusetts servicemen who never returned home.

Together, we read each hero’s name, rang the bell, and had the presentation of the Missing Man Table at the Sheriff’s facility in Middleton - home to the Commonwealth’s only monument listing every Bay State POW/MIA.

May we always remember their courage, their service, and their sacrifice.

They are not forgotten.
