Gina Raimondo, Senator Jack Reed, Congressman David Cicilline, Congressman Jim Langevin, Bristol Town Administrator Steven Contente, Town Council President Nathan Calouro and keynote speaker Captain Michael Coughlin spoke during the ceremony. The Mt. Hope High School band, under the direction of Christopher Lambert, played a beautiful rendition of the National Anthem and the Armed Forces Medley.
