Minister Melvin Murphy opened with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a moving National Anthem performed by the Roxbury Latin Latonics. Commander Richard Gormley and V.F.W. Post 2902 delivered a powerful Honor Guard Salute, and Reverend James Butler offered an inspiring invocation.

We were honored to welcome an incredible lineup of speakers, including:

• City Councilor Ben Weber
• State Representative William MacGregor
• Emily Shea, Age Strong Commissioner
