The Town of Hingham Veterans Department is pleased to announce the program for this year’s Annual Veteran’s Day Observance, formerly called Armistice Day. Veterans Day 2024 will begin with the CPL Lawrence St. Laurent, USMC Breakfast in the Hingham Town Hall’s Central Meeting Room (2nd Floor), from (08:30-10:30hrs).

Please make every effort to attend and show your support for our Nation’s Veterans!
During the stress of these uncertain times, one thing in the Town of Hingham is certain… WE will always take time out to pause, reflect, and remember the many sacrifices made by our men and women who serve now and in the past, and especially for those who have laid down their lives to keep us all free.
Remembering them is our sacred commitment; keeping them in our hearts and minds every day in a fast-paced world is at times difficult, but WE must.
