[HISTORY: Adopted by the City Council of the City of Gardner
as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 8-7-2000 by Ord. No. 1334]
Whereas history is prologue, and it is important that our children
be cognizant of our past, especially the early sacrifices that established
the freedom and democracy we enjoy today, annually, on or before the
19th of April, the Mayor shall officially designate Patriots Day as
Colonel Thomas Gardner Day in the City of Gardner and shall cause
a proclamation to be issued and read in all the schools of Gardner,
to honor this patriot who died of wounds received during the Battle
of Bunker Hill and for whom our beloved community was named.
