"“This is a unifying event that reminds us of what is at the very core of our citizenship,” State Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr, R-Gloucester said.
The last couple of weeks have illuminated the character of the community.
“As has been mentioned at the microphone,” Tarr said, “we do face times that are divisive, too often acrimonious and so often things that seem counterproductive in our lives and in our society. But in this community, we continue to find meaning and purpose in recognizing and honoring our veterans.”
Tarr said he was honored to be at The Open Door for a special food distribution.
“The Open Door, realizing that those in military service would be affected by the government shutdown and might not be able to afford the basic necessities of life in the form of food, and right up the street, on Emerson Avenue, people from all across this community turned out time and again to make donations to distribute food and to say to those who have served our nation, ‘You are part of our family and we will not let you go without,’” he said."
