Veterans honored by Dave Tanguay

Each year on Memorial Day, The Field-Allen Post honors those veterans from Windham, who have passed away that year, with a Bell Ceremony. Their names are read followed by the tolling of the bell.

As Adjutant to the Post, I try to keep a record of those Veterans who passed away that had an affiliation with the Town of Windham in some capacity as a resident, attended Windham schools, or worked here etc. The names are then submitted for the Bell Ceremony to be held in front of the High School on Memorial Day.

The following are the names of the fallen from Windham that are currently listed as having passed
away between May 2016 and May 2017.
