It is no surprise that MIDDLEBORO, MA produces men & women who go on to serve in our military with distinction. Middleboro has produced TWO Medal of Honor recipients, Patrick Regan from WWI and HM3 Wayne Caron, Navy Medic from the Vietnam War.
The history of Middleboro shows that this farm community in the Southeastern Massachusetts also holds the distinction of being home to a Revolutionary War Hero, Deborah Sampson who served disguised as a man for a few years until gravely wounded on the field of battle.
BRAVO ZULU to our own, Deidra Neeley - YOU make all of Middleboro proud for your dedication to country and selfless service.
