Mattapoisett Congregational Church Honors Veterans Day
November 11 @ 11:00 am
On Tuesday, November 11, Mattapoisett Congregational Church will participate in our nationwide ringing of the bells to honor all armed forces veterans. This bell ringing tradition began on Armistice Day in 1918, signaling the end of World War I. It has become an annual Veterans Day event to recognize the service and sacrifices made by U.S. military veterans.
Residents of the Tri-town area are invited to gather on the church front lawn at the corner of Barstow St. and Church St. at 10:45 am to hear a brief message followed by the 11:00 am ringing. Afterward, everyone is invited to attend the Mattapoisett Veterans Day Commemoration at Center School held by the Tri-town Veterans Office, in conjunction with the American Legion Post 280.
