Councillor,
Thought you might want to see these, from the common in Boston, over 33,000 flags were placed and they read off the names of those from the Commonwealth who were killed in action in Iraq and Afghanistan (The parents of the young men who were killed read the names, it was really tough to get through).

I typed the names in the wrong order, sorry. Our Veterans Officer is to the right of the Govenor.
