List Prepared for Vietnam Veterans Honor Roll

Vietnam veterans who attended Medfield High School will be honored on a plaque outside their former school. The community is asked to review the list of names for accuracy.

 

In early November, Medfield's Vietnam veterans will be honored with a plaque to be located outside the former Amos Clark Kingsbury High School (now the Thomas A. Blake Middle School) at 24 Pound Street. 

The Vietnam plaque will be similar to the plaques at Dale Street School which honor the WWII and Korean War veterans who attended that school when it was the Hannah Adams Pfaff High School.

Marble's plan, adopted by the committee, includes a paved walkway and a viewing area centered around the existing flagpole. Marble's effort is part of his application for an Eagle Scout Award. The committee is currently investigating a stone monument with a bronze plaque inset within this paved area.

The committee has compiled a list of 132 Vietnam War veterans and is asking the community to review the attached list.

The committee includes Superintendent of Schools Robert Maguire, Nancy Kelly-Lavin of Lord’s Dept Store, Town Historian Richard DeSorgher, Blake Middle School Principal Nathanial Vaughn, American Legion Beckwith Post 110 members and veterans Lee Tredway and Tony Centore along with Veteran Services Officer Ron Griffin.

The committee asks that, if you know a name that is not on the list but should be, you e-mail the Veterans Services Officer at rgriffin@medfield.net
