Select Board approves Purple Heart Day ceremony and orders flags at half‑staff to honor Stephen Wood Ziegler
Summary
The board approved a Purple Heart Day ceremony on 08/07/2026 at 10:00 AM on the Common and ordered municipal flags at half‑staff on July 31 to honor the late Stephen Wood Ziegler, an Air Force veteran and former Littleton police detective.
The Select Board approved two veterans‑related requests from the veterans' agent. The board voted to allow use of the town Common on August 7, 2026 at 10:00 AM for a Purple Heart Day ceremony.
The board also voted to order flags on municipal buildings to half‑staff on July 31 from sunrise to sunset in memory of Stephen (Steve) Wood Ziegler, described in meeting remarks as an Air Force veteran and long‑time local law enforcement officer. The motion to approve the flag order passed by voice vote.
Why it matters: These are formal civic recognitions and the board’s votes set the town’s schedule of observances and memorial protocol.
