I'm sharing some of the pictures I took at the dedication service this afteroon in Cabot. The ceremony was very well attended, a lot of service personnel and families of those who have served were there. It was a beautiful afternoon, hot but bright with sunshine and a sharp breeze. It was a solemn occasion, and very meaningful.

Mary Cobb and Melvin Churchill sang "America the Beautiful" and "America", and later Mary led the gathering to sing "The Star Spangled Banner."
LTC Dan Molind addressed the crowd.
The service was closed with a benediction by Rev. Dr. Bill Cobb and "Taps" played by Galen Strader. CWO Frank L. Thompson, USN (Ret.) was master of ceremonies.
The monument now carries the names of men and women who served from Cabot in WWI, WWII, Vietnam and Korea.
