Hobart Doughboy Ceremony Tonight

Share this post

In Hobart, members of the Marine Corps League Howlin Mad Detachment 93 gather at the Hobart Doughboy statue the last Friday of each month 5pm to remember, out loud, soldiers who've given their lives for our country in Iraq and Afghanistan... and this evening (Friday october 26, 2012), they tell us they'll be reading the names of twenty fallen military personnel. This past July marked the third year anniversary date of their monthly ceremony announcing the names at the Doughboy Monument, at 7th & Main. “Doughboy” was a term used to describe U-S Infantrymen of the American Expeditionary Force during World War One. Everyone is invited.
