Honoring Our Heroes: A Proud Sutton Tradition
Each Memorial and Veteran’s Day, the Sutton Lions and Dudley Gendron Riders unite to place 100 flags on the Sutton Town Common—a powerful tribute to the brave men and women who have served our country. This cherished tradition is embraced by the community, standing as a symbol of gratitude and remembrance.
For a $25 donation per flag, sponsors can dedicate a flag with a personalized sign, honoring a loved one with their name and years of service. This year, proceeds will support a cause that is close to our hearts—helping to provide service dogs for veterans.
The Memorial Day Parade serves as the meaningful conclusion to a morning of reflection at many town cemeteries, where our community gathers to pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
A solemn and heartfelt tradition, the Dudley Gendron leads the ceremony by reading the names of local heroes who lost their lives in combat or service to our nation. This moment stands as a powerful reminder of their courage, dedication, and the legacy they leave behind.
Join us as we honor their memory and recognize their contributions to our country.
