“We are proud to be able to place this monument here, facing the same waters that once saw those attackers challenge us,” said Brisbois.

The dedication will take place at the town marina Sept. 10 at 11 a.m. There will be a celebration lunch and dance following the dedication at the Guilford VFW Hall, 104 Mill Road, Guilford.
