Remembering 2013 in Stoneham: Tragedy, Unity, and Veterans Honored

This was a year like no other in recent memory. A year marred in tragedy, terrorism, unity, bravery and triumph. A year of victory for Red Sox fans. A year in which we learned the phrase "Boston Strong."

But it was not all dark and terrifying. Veterans from the First World War were honored after their medals were found by chance. The Greenway received state and federal funding, pushing the project one step closer to completion. If you want to share your memories from this year, please do so in the comments section.
