Memorial Dedication~ October 4, 2007
L/Cpl Gregory MacDonald, USMC
October 4, 1973 ~ June 25, 2003
The Burlington Office of Veterans Services wishes to thank everyone who was involved in the recent Memorial Ceremony honoring L/Cpl Gregory MacDonald. The Town unveiled a bronze marker in his honor on what would have been his 34th birthday. It was an honor for this office to have helped put this together along with the assistance of so many people and organizations. This Memorial is for the entire town, so that everyone can remember Greg as his name is placed along side other sons of Burlington who died serving this country during World War - 1, World War - 2, Korea, Vietnam, and now The War On Terror.
