Veterans Day 2026 parades, ceremonies planned across Greater New Bedford

Veterans Day is here, and communities across Greater New Bedford are coming together to thank the neighbors, friends and family members who have served in the Armed Forces. A veteran is defined as “a person who served in the active military, naval, or air service, and who was discharged or released therefrom under conditions other than dishonorable.” U.S. veterans make up less than 6.1% of the total adult population, with about 15.8 million veterans living in the U.S. Originally called Armistice Day , Veterans Day became a legal holiday on May 13, 1938, to be observed each year on Nov. 11. The holiday traces its roots to World War I, the “war to end all wars,” which ended with an armistice signed in Europe on Nov. 11, 1918. Today, it’s a chance to say thank you to the members of our community who have served, and to those who are serving now. Looking for a way to show your gratitude? Here’s a list of local events where you can mark Veterans Day and celebrate the veterans in your hometown. Acushnet Veterans Day Parade: Nov. 8, 10 a.m. Come cheer on Acushnet’s veterans at the town’s Veterans Day Parade, which kicks

Transformation Progresses at Century and Stuart Bogs

It’s not intuitive. When cranberry bogs are retired, repairing nature sometimes looks intrusive with big trucks and equipment on site. But it’s all very intentional: the water has been diverted for years and needs to find its way back to the flow that will benefit fish and wildlife and protect against flooding. And, left alone, invasive plants would overwhelm the former cranberry bogs. A clear design and workplan are necessary, and that often means moving mud with big trucks. You’ve seen that this fall at two projects: Stuart Bogs and Century Bogs.
