Honoring Veterans In North End

Many people took yesterday off to honor veterans. Possibly people went shopping, relaxed, caught up or errands or other neglected things.

Here in the North End, however, many people were werking.

Shaun Carvelli, project manager for DCL Boston, was overseeing two men digging right next to the statue for Tony DeMarco.

The hole will alllow for a plague to honor the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame.

Shaun was at the ceremony when Tony DeMarco was honored. He agreed with North End Patch that is was a wonderful day.

We discussed how many people do work on Veterans' Day and Shaun mentioned his father is a veteran. Albert Carvelli fought in Viet Nam. He was a pilot.

Thank you for your service, Albert. We are relieved you made it home.

And, once again, we will never forget all who did not return. They sacrificed their lives for our freedom and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
