7:30 The Mayor's Musical Tribute to Service

A rousing and free musical tribute to service, featured the Scotts Highland Pipes and Drums and the Leominster Schools. The public were invited to join the veterans, their families and the community in this show of positive support for our citizens who are on the front lines in the war on terror. The program promises to bring new meaning to the phrase "Support our Troops."This program took place in the Lodge room at the Leominster Elks.

In addition, the Mayor's Tribute to Service included a special certificate of recognition for any member of the military who has served since the 9-11 Attack on America.
