Memorial Day Remember and Honor

Stratham will honor Memorial Day and those who have fallen with a brief ceremony followed by a silent procession throughout the town. Fire apparatus’ and police vehicles will leave the Fire Station at 1:25 pm and drive to Stratham Hill Park Veterans Memorial Garden where they will stop and conduct a brief ceremony at 1:30 pm that will include raising the colors, laying a wreath, an SVFDA Honor Guard rifle salute, and playing of Taps.

Following the ceremony, the Fire and Police departments will ride through town with lights on but with sirens silent, in respect for those who have fallen. Rather than inviting the public to attend the ceremony at SHP this year, we will be live-streaming it on the Town of Stratham Facebook page (@townofstrathamnh). The silent procession route and approximate times will be published on the FB page and the public is invited to watch from the sides of the streets closest to their homes, while maintaining social distance.

For everyone’s safety, we respectfully ask residents to not attend the SHP ceremony, but to instead watch it live on Facebook. We also encourage residents to line the streets of Stratham for the silent parade while maintaining at least 6 feet from each other. Flag waving and red, white, and blue outfits are highly encouraged!
