Revolution remembered in Matamoras

Local Matamoras residents and members of the VFW took part in an Independence Day ceremony. Nancy Vocci and Jane Drake are pictured laying a wreath at the Revolutionary War memorial in Matamoras Veterans’ Park. After laying the wreath, Vocci turned to the crowd and said, “I think the words of Thomas Paine are still true, ‘These are the times that try men’s souls.’” (Photos by Nick Troiano)
