New Bedford American Legion Post 1 has canceled its Sunday events as part of its Memorial Day weekend observation, but the Monday events will go on as planned.
In the first full in-person Memorial Day celebration since 2019, several events are planned in New Bedford this upcoming holiday weekend to honor the men and women who lost their lives while serving the country.
Memorial Day hits close to home because of the men and women we have lost in the name of freedom, including a young man from Fairhaven who we lost too soon.
Some amazing people will be remembering a fallen Marine from Fairhaven by working a yard sale to benefit the LCpl Matthew R. Rodriguez Memorial Foundation.
