A National Moment of Remembrance is also held at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day, when Americans are encouraged to pause for one minute of silence to honor those who died in military service.

Separately, Westborough is also planning events later this summer to mark America's 250th anniversary. Fireworks, reenactments and horse-drawn carriages are among the events planned for June 26 at Bay State Commons as part of celebrations tied to the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution.
