All limited use licenses come in the largest size available. Alma Hart was all in from the get go. She and her husband Brian raised their kids in Bedford, and their son John joined the Army in , a decision heavily influenced by what had happened on Sept.

John Hart was serving with the rd Airborne when they deployed to Iraq, at a time when our government was sending troops into combat with inferior equipment, not enough ammunition, and unarmored Humvees and trucks. Dawn was just an aspiration when the doorbell rang 16 years ago. But she knew she had to open the door. Her son had been killed when his convoy of unarmored vehicles was ambushed.

His brothers in arms later told her that John ran out of ammunition while fending off the insurgents who shot him. John Hart, forever 20 years old, is buried in Arlington National Cemetery, which he visited as a boy on an 8th grade field trip. Now, schoolchildren come to Boston Common every May and see flags that honor the sacrifice of John Hart and thousands like him.

Each flag represents a Massachusetts service member who has given their life defending the country since the Revolutionary War. The final flags honoring the heroes who have fallen since September 11, were planted during a small ceremony with Governor Charlie Baker Thursday morning. More than 37, American flags planted on the Boston Common- each one representing a fallen service member from MA from the Revolutionary War to today. The Massachusetts Military Heroes Fund has organized the flag plantings in the week leading up to Memorial Day every year since
