MEMORIAL DAY THANK YOU
Thank you to all of the residents and volunteers who made Stratham’s 2020 observation of Memorial Day meaningful.  While the ceremony in the Park while was held in a different form, it was able to be shared via Facebook live streaming.  To watch the ceremony, follow this link: https://youtu.be/KiNzOrbDLsI  Following the ceremony, a silent procession by our Police and Fire departments honored those who have given their lives for our country, which was witnessed by many residents who came out to pay their respects.  Thank you to all who made this happen.  For coverage of the events, please see the following news accounts.
