Yesterday, Southborough held its annual parade and memorial service in honor of Veterans Day. Following the ceremony, officials (who were also friends) of the late Veterans Agent Lt. Col. John Wilson honored his memory. A bench in his memory was unveiled at the memorial.
The installation of the bench was part of an Eagle Scout project by Troop 1’s Gabrielius Bazikas.
Below are photos from the events. While most are mine, a handful were contributed by Town officials and Southborough Access Media (SAM).

SAM recorded yesterday’s event for the public, but the video still needs final editing. Stay tuned for that.
Updated (11/13/20 7:51 am): For some reason the photos weren’t opening on the correct format on the “front page”. I’m hoping that I fixed the issue.
John Wilson was a fine man. Southborough is better for his having lived here.
