Charlie BreitroseRoberta Miller adds a name to a dog tag on the wall of honor at the Mosesian Center for the Everyone Knows a Veteran Project. White signs in the shape of dog tags line the walls of a room at the Mosesian Center for the Arts, each one with the name of a veteran written on it by a family member or friend. They are part of the “Everyone Knows a Veteran” project, a collaboration between the Watertown Veterans Services Office and the Arts Center. On Friday, as part of the Veterans Day observances, Watertown Veterans Services Agent Patrick George held a ceremony at the Mosesian Center, where he spoke about the new project, and read Gov. Charlie Baker’s Veterans Day proclamation. Many of the dog tags just have a name, but some have information about when the veterans served and their experiences.
