🇺🇸🫡🪦Remember & Honor: Yesterday, Town Supervisor John Mahar, his daughters and grandkids, along with Tax Receiver Kathy Dwyer and Town Clerk Janet Hillery joined dozens of community volunteers in placing flags at each of the graves of the Veterans and their families buried in the County Veterans Cemetery on Howlett Hill. This Memorial Day tradition has become an important way for Town leaders to remember and honor local Veterans who gave their all to preserve the quality of life we all enjoy.
