Harris Family helps Deerfield Remember

At today's Memorial Day gathering in Old Deerfield, the three local schools participated in a moving ceremony of remembrance.  Thanks to Bement School and Eaglebrook School and Deerfield Academy students...here pictured leaving the cemetery.




















It was heart wrenching to hear from a Gold Star Mother and Deerfield resident whose son was lost in Iraq in 2003.  Freedom is indeed not free...

What made it even more special was the Address by Commander Shane G. Harris, brother of our own classmate Chris, here pictured in the Caswell Library with their mom who is Deerfield Academy Class of 1941!
