The City of Somerville Department of Veterans’ Services invites local Veterans and family members of Veterans to submit short video messages to celebrate Memorial Day.

Veterans and Veteran families are encouraged to record short videos, about 10 to 15 seconds long, to share what Memorial Day means to them or a message for troops deployed overseas. Submissions will then be compiled into a larger video to mark this year’s holiday.

Videos should be submitted by Friday, April 30. They can be emailed to Ted Louis-Jacques, Director of Veterans’ Services, at tjacques@somervillema.gov or texted to him at 617-404-5290.
