Ipswich Veterans Memorial Park Dedication
It was an honor to join local officials, veterans, families,
and community members in Ipswich for the dedication of the newly renovated
Veterans Memorial Park — a powerful tribute to the men and women who have
served and sacrificed for our nation.
The ceremony, led by VFW Commander Larry Jordan, brought
together hundreds of people to honor nearly 1,000 Ipswich veterans whose names
are now memorialized at the park — including 150 who gave their lives in
service. The day was filled with pride, remembrance, and deep gratitude, with
moving remarks, patriotic music from the Ipswich High School band, and a solemn
rifle salute by the VFW.
Special thanks to Commander Jordan, the VFW, Eastern Essex
Veterans Services, local businesses, volunteers, and town departments for their
tireless efforts to restore and enhance this important landmark. Their work
ensures that future generations will always remember the courage and sacrifice
of those who served.
