The Marietta Community House will hold a special event to honor all Veterans and also to dedicate additional bricks for the Buy-A-Brick program. The community is invited to attend the ceremony to remember local veterans who have served their country. Members of the Marietta American Legion Post #466 will join the Community House in remembering all veterans in honor of Lt. Benjamin Hiestand who died in the Great War and in whose memory the Community House was dedicated. This year’s service highlights the Legion’s program to honor hometown heroes with banners throughout the town. The Reverend Daniel Shahan from the United Church of Christ in Marietta will then bless the laying of the bricks, many of which have been given in memory of departed loved ones or to honor living family members. This event will be held inside the Gym/Studio with social distancing and masks required, as well as outside for the brief brick laying ceremony.
