Today Gene Brune and State Rep Denise Provost were among members associated with Historic Somerville, the Somerville Museum, and the City’s Historic Preservation Commission who honored some of Somerville’s oldest veterans from the American Revolution and the War of 1812 who are buried in the City’s historic Milk Row Cemetery on Somerville Avenue. At today’s ceremony  a poppy wreath was placed  in front of the 1863 Civil War Monument by local members of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts and other Somerville residents and visitors. The event was videotaped by the City for viewing on our local cable station.
