Tuesday’s Veterans Day Ceremony in Brewster included special recognition of two local
decorated veterans: Donald Arthur and Mary Chaffee. Their name plates were added to the
memorial stone outside the front of the council on aging. Pictured, from left, are Christopher

Brian Murphy (left) and Donald Arthur both spoke of their time in the service. Murphy was
a Navy officer in Vietnam and Arthur commanded Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune and National
Naval Medical Center Bethesda. He later became an admiral.

Rose Hall, Arthur’s daughter, attaches his name plaque to the memorial honoring
Brewster residents who have served in the military.

The Nauset Regional High School choir performed twice during the ceremony, closing out
the event with a rendition of “God Bless America.”

Reverend Scot Hull of the First Parish Brewster Unitarian Universalist Meetinghouse
opened the ceremony with a prayer. He remarked on the courage of veterans, saying their
“sacrifices should not be forgotten and their service should not be taken for granted.”

A healthy Barnstable County requires great community news.
