Massachusetts will honor veterans this Wednesday with a variety of events. From celebrations at Galvin Middle School to a formal ceremony at the Massachusetts National Cemetery we will say a word of thanks to every veteran who served this country, putting their lives on hold for the freedom we enjoy today.
