(Waltham, MA---28 May 2010) Local Resident Pays Tribute to Medal of Honor Hero: 72 Year Old Tradition Continues…

This past Thursday local resident Paul Covell of South Dennis and a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts conducted a memorial tribute wreath laying ceremony. The service was held at Mount Feake Cemetery in Waltham at the gravesite of Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Major George Maynard. Maynard was also a member of the "Ancients" and since his passing, the company, based out of Faneuil Hall in Boston, has placed a wreath at their comrade's gravesite for Memorial Day. This year marks the 72nd anniversary of this tradition. Six members of the company accompanied LT Covell, who currently serves as 1st Lieutenant of the company and will command the company in 2011. Major Maynard's uniform and Congressional Medal of Honor are display at the Ancient's Armory located on the 4th Floor of Faneuil Hall. The exhibit is free and open to the public.
