Trustees of War Memorials Meeting
Discussion of a request to add a name to the Amesbury Servicemen Memorial Honor Roll at Justin Memorial Park, consideration of a Veterans' Heritage Grant Program, and maintenance needs including flagpoles and a potential memorial tour.
The Trustees of War Memorials met December 3, 2024. The meeting focused on memorial care and small capital actions: financial balances were reviewed, a name addition to the Amesbury Servicemen Memorial Honor Roll was approved, and the trustees approved submitting a Veterans' Heritage Grant application to fund refurbishment of the Rocky Hill Memorial flagpole. Jeremiah Murphy will contact the vendor to add the approved name to the honor roll.
Trustees discussed flagpole maintenance broadly and decided to begin with the Rocky Hill Memorial flagpole (partially grant-funded) and consider other flagpoles later; discussion on the Franco‑American flagpole noted it may require a specialized vendor. Quotes and procurement requirements led to narrowing the grant-funded project from three flagpoles to a single flagpole. No public comment was offered. The next meeting date was set as recorded.
