Recognizing Veterans at Hudson Ceremonies
October 18, 2019

Under the direction of Christina Madden, commander of Hudson VFW Post 1591, veterans’ graves in Hudson cemeteries will be honored with a wreath on Dec. 14 as part of Wreaths Across America. Madden, with help from Selectman Dave Morin and Mel Gannon, has visited local cemeteries to identify the graves of all soldiers entombed there. This week, please look over this list of 102 veterans buried in the Hills Farm Cemetery to be sure a family member is included if he/she is buried there. As of this writing, it is not clear if Hills Farm Cemetery Trustees will allow individual wreaths at headstones, but it is important, nonetheless, to have an accurate list of veterans buried in all Hudson cemeteries.
Over the next weeks, watch for Westview and Sunny Side cemetery lists. Regrettably, the administration and parish of the Holy Cross Cemetery on Ledge Road and St. Patrick Cemetery will not allow wreaths on the graves of the veterans buried there. Ceremonial wreaths will be placed at the flagpoles of these two cemeteries. Madden is trying to get a list of veterans buried in those cemeteries.
Please direct your information regarding veterans to Madden at [email protected] or leave a message at the VFW Post at 598-4594.
