"Tarr then praised Newburyport for its treatment of veterans.
“It’s always an honor to be here as the city fulfills its obligation to celebrate, honor and respect those who have served our nation and those who continue to serve,” he said.
He added that it is the foremost responsibility of people to remember that the values of this country come at “a very high price.”
“They come at the price of those who put on the uniform of our country, swear allegiance to those principles, and go forth to put themselves in harm’s way,” Tarr said. “They interrupt their lives, are separated from their families, and witness things most humans never have to experience.”
For that sacrifice and hardship, Tarr said they are owed the best that communities can do for them.
“Always taking the time to understand their stories, what they’ve been through, what they’ve fought for. Always being there to support their families and recognize what separation means,” he said. “Always finding a way, whether with a large gesture or a small one.”"
