A blurb from Lawrence City Councilor Marc Laplante's research and portion to be published:
“Soon he was back to Korea. By late January 1951, Judge’s division was part of a counteroffensive against the Chinese troops who began pushing the United Nations’ forces southward months earlier. Meanwhile, in Lawrence on Valentines Day 1950, Judge’s mother was preparing cookies and chocolates to send to her son when she received a knock on the door with news that her son was missing. It would be another month before the Army would announce that Judge was killed on January 30, 1951.”

A message from Town Moderator, Mark DiSalvo: Spark of a Revolution – Town Meeting 1776

Sarah Brush

Just in time for Independence Day! Here is the video of our June 12, 1776 event detailing the “Andover Resolve” and our town’s pivotal influence on the Declaration. In this act of rebellion with the Crown, our forebears pledged “their lives and fortunes to the measure” and helped turn the spark of a revolution into a conflagration in support of liberty.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPeMa7zCobQ
