Veterans and Celebrations Committees

Veterans Committee

It is the mission of the Carlisle Veterans Committee to serve as a resource for Carlisle veterans through outreach and information sharing. We will have an active role with town veteran activities and programs, while advocating on behalf of Carlisle veterans through the local Veterans Service Officer (VSO). The Committee is comprised of Carlisle volunteers who are committed to supporting the well-being of our town’s veterans, members of the armed forces, their dependents, widows, and orphans of deceased veterans.

Carlisle Honor Roll Committee. Since 1885, the Town of Carlisle, Massachusetts has endeavored to recognize and honor our citizens who gave of themselves to fight for the freedoms that we all enjoy. Their willingness to make sacrifices deserves to be noted for future generations. Each Memorial Day, we salute them, we honor them, we thank them.  The Committee is comprised of Carlisle volunteers who are committed to supporting the well-being of our town’s veterans, members of the armed forces, their dependents, widows, and orphans of deceased veterans.
