There will be a memorial service remembering the Fallen of the First Special Service Force and those who have passed on in succeeding years on Saturday August 12, at 10 am on Dalton Drive at the Ethan Allen Fort Park in Colchester. The ceremony will include a wreath laying, family tributes, active-duty special operations soldiers from the U.S. and Canada, the Black Devils Pipe Band, the 40th Army Band, and a Reunion Choir. Immediately following the memorial ceremony, there will be the dedication of a Vermont State Historic Marker in honor of the First Special Service Force who trained at Fort Ethan Allen just prior to World War II. Both ceremonies will take place on Dalton Drive at the Fort Ethan Allen Park. There will be a tent and chairs for reunion attendees and the public as available. Bringing your own chair is suggested. Parking will be available as directed. In addition, the Fort Ethan Allen Museum will be open that day until 2 p.m. and is located very near the site of the events.
