Bristol Fourth of July Parade Honors Local Veterans
Bristol residents crowded the Common for Independence Day ceremonies featuring an Honor Roll dedication, flag-raising, and gun salutes. Gov. McGrath and Sen. Green praised community spirit while Ensign Edith Knight and Captain Wyatt spoke of war experiences. A large crowd enjoyed bands, drills, a softball win by Bristol, aerial displays, and a bond rally raising tens of thousands for the war effort.
