At the start of the ceremony Police Department Chaplin, Brian Gower, said a prayer for all those who served and gave the ultimate sacrifice. Kris Furtney, American Legion Post #42 Commander, explained what the P.O.W. flag meant. As the flags were raised, Kathy Kelly gave a heartfelt rendition of the National Anthem. Towards the end of the ceremony, veteran and American Legion member, Brett Tiede played taps on his bugle. The ceremony was followed by a parade, which included Cub Scout Pack 43, to the Suncook River where a memorial wreath was tossed into the water by long time resident and member of the Barnstead American Legion’s Auxiliary, Carol Tiede. It was a somber but beautiful memorial service and parade.
