A Medfield Historical Minute...

This "Medfield Historical Minute" is brought to you by town historian Richard DeSorgher.
A little something to read and learn to give you a little break during this time of boredom during isolation due to the Coronavirus Crisis. A different "Medfield Historical Minute" will appear each day during the Crisis.

"In 2009 Red Palumbo, US Air Force Captain WWII, delivered the Memorial Day address, telling the crowd at Baxter Park that “We are here today to honor and remember our fallen comrades of Medfield who lost their lives in the service to their country. We are now involved in disputes around the world where we really don’t know who our enemy is. Please let’s have a moment of silence to remember our comrades, wherever they may be.”
