The town will pause to honor the men and women who died in military service to the country during Monday’s Memorial Day parade and ceremony.

The parade steps off at the high school at about 9:30 a.m. on May 29; the ceremony at the Gold Star Mothers Memorial at Hull Village Cemetery will begin around 10:30 a.m.

Hull Veterans Council member Edward Burke will be the keynote speaker at the ceremony.

Following the activities at the cemetery, five memorial squares will be dedicated to veterans throughout town. Director of Veterans Services Paul Sordillo recently sought select board approval for six names and five street corner dedications. One street dedication has two names.

The war memorial commission met April 18 and recommended approval of the following as requested by the veterans’ families; these also were approved by the select board:

* Paul Dunphy Sr. (World War II) and Paul Jr. (Vietnam): Street corner at the end of Andrew Road near the public park for Paul Jr., and the western intersection of Hampton Circle and Andrew Road for Paul Jr.

* Peter Azer (Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm): Corner of Samoset Avenue and Warren Street.

* David Sweeney (World War II): Corner of South Avenue and Atlantic Avenue

* Frank McDonough (World War II): Corner of Cadish Avenue and B Street

* Patrick Patuto (World War II): Nantasket Avenue/Edgewater Road

The delegation of town officials will travel to each of the street dedications after the conclusion of the Memorial Day ceremony.
