LEWISTON — Kent Mayerson played taps for the Lewiston Auburn Memorial Day Parade and unveiling ceremony held at the Veterans Memorial Park on May 24.
“Mayerson is the youngest and only Boy Scout that ever played taps at a military commemorative event held at the Veterans Memorial Park since its inception,” said Paul R. Bernard, public relations officer for the William J. Rogers post 153 and 3rd District, Department of Maine.
The 26th Veterans Memorial Stone, engraved with the Cold War logo, has been unveiled. Now there are nearly 5,500 veterans’ names, including those on the WWI stone, stated Bernard.
