TOWN OF WEBSTER NEW HAMPSHIRE “The VeVeteran’steran’s Memorial” Photo Courtesy of Roy E. Fanjoy 2014 A N N U A L R E P O R T 2015 Warrant and Budget THE 2014 WEBSTER TOWN REPORT IS DEDICATED TO ALL WEBSTER VETERANS The 2014 Town of Webster Annual Report is dedicated to all Webster Veterans, past, present, and future. This honor includes all branches of service including our National Guard members who have also answered to the call of duty. Many men and women have repre- sented the Town of Webster over the past one hundred years to present day. Their service includes World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Gulf War, War in Afghanistan, Iraq War, the present International Intervention Against ISIL, and others. Those who may not have served during a conflict have also stepped forward to serve and protect, and to be there for their country no matter what. Webster veterans are honored and remembered, and Webster residents are proud to show their support. This starts with a Veteran's Memorial at the corner of Allen Road and Battle Street and continues to a personal memorial on Deer Meadow Road. Other reminders include both personalized vanity license plates and special veteran's plates, as well as simple daily phrases such as: “We thank you for your service.” As we enjoy our freedom and security, remember to thank those who have kept us safe and thank them for their service to their country and their neighbors.
