Between August 22 thru August 25, the City of Marlborough hosted the ‘Remembering Our Fallen Memorial,’ sponsored by Boston Scientific. For those who were not able to attend, it’s a heart-felt pictorial memorial for those who gave their lives since 9-11-2001.

As the event coordinator, I would like to acknowledge and give our thanks to the following motorcycle clubs & groups for not only escorting the memorial into the city to Union Common, but for also helping to set-up the memorial and later, return Saturday evening to break it down. In addition, there were three gentlemen who viewed the memorial, then stayed to help break it down.

They are:

Marlborough Eagle Riders, Extreme Riders, Distant Thunder and the Hudson Eagle Riders.
