Yesterday was the dedication ceremony for the memorial.  It was the culmination of many months of efforts.  We thank those who attended yesterday, particularly the families, Mayor Warren, members of Newton’s Fire and Police departments and other city employees and officials.  The memorial would not been possible without the efforts and support of hundreds of our neighbors.  You all have our deepest thanks.
