On Sunday May 28th at 9:30 AM, members of Post 3 attended the annual memorial mass we hold each year in a different Nashua church around Memorial Day dedicated to the memory of James E. Coffey our post namesake. In attendance were post 3 Senior Vice Commander Robert Courtemanche; post Junior Vice Commander, Don Vincent; post Treasurer and past commander, Barney Barbera; post chaplain and past commander, Ron Poirier; unit 3 Auxiliary members, Priscille Barbera, Barbara Courtemanche, Kathleen Vincent, and guest, Sandra Abbot.
This year the mass was held at St. Patrick's church, 29 Spring St. in Nashua. St. Patrick's was James E. Coffey and his family's home parish.
