Today, on Veterans Day, the Groton History Center extends our heartfelt gratitude to the Veterans of Groton and to all those across the United States who have served our country. We honor their courage, sacrifice, and dedication, and remember the generations who have helped shape our nation’s history.
In recognition of the day, we are sharing a photograph from our collection depicting nine members of Groton’s Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.) post, an organization of Union veterans who served during the American Civil War. A handwritten note preserved on the back identifies the men, reading from left to right: Warner Souther, Bradford Harrington, Charles Berry, Bowman Gale, Henry Shattuck, Thomas Wilson, John Condon, Dr. David Steele and Lyman Mason. The gentleman on the far right is Hon. Burton W. Potter of Worcester, the Orator of the Day. This photograph offers a glimpse into Groton’s veteran community and the men who carried the legacy of their Civil War service into the following generations.
Today, we remember and thank all who have served. ...
