Protesters arrested at Veterans Day ceremony

Boston Police report arresting 18 people at City Hall around 2 p.m. today on charges of "disturbing a lawful assembly of people:"

The protestors, a group from an organization called Veterans for Peace, created a disturbance throughout the proceedings. On several occasions, police officers warned the group that if they continued to deliberately interrupt and disrupt the assembly they would face arrest. When offered an alternative location from which to protest from, the protestors refused.

Veterans for Peace.

Thanking her grandfather for his service

Jenny Frazier recounts tales from her Grampy:

... Grampy has some incredible tales from World War II. Now in his 80s, he suffers from Alzheimer's. His day to day memories are pretty much non-existent, which is hard, but the memories from his days serving the Marine Corps are so clear. And with every story we tell, he always has a counter-story from his Marine days. ... Thank you Grampy. Thank you all Veterans.
