This Memorial Day, the City of Somerville will host a ceremony of remembrance to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice while in service to our country.  

The ceremony will take place Monday, May 31, at Veterans’ Memorial Cemetery on Broadway between Alewife Brook Parkway and North Street. Speaking remarks will begin at 10 a.m. featuring Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone, Director of Veterans’ Services Ted Louis-Jacques, City Council President Matthew McLaughlin, and several members of the local Veterans community. Members of the general public are welcome to attend.
