ARTICLE SNIPPET: “”Anytime anything like this happens, it’s disturbing,’’ said Grassey. ``What is particularly unsettling is we’re entering the weekend when our thoughts are with those who made sacrifices in this country.’’
The square is named for Dennis J. Moran, who was killed in combat in World War I, on July 18, 1918. The square includes memorials to the fallen of World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.”
