They talked about the invisible disabilities and the importance of transitioning to life stateside, but perhaps the most important aspect of Friday’s Veterans Day Town Hall is that veterans talked.
Held in Abbot Hall, the Town Hall gathering was the second such event hosted by U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton.
“Last year’s Town Hall was the single most meaningful thing I’ve done as a U.S. Congressman,” Moulton said. “I hope this will be the beginning of a movement.”
MARBLEHEAD — John Katsaros joined the U.S. Army Air Corps with his best friend on Dec. 9, 1941, two days after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.
He flew in a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, a four-engine heavy bomber, and was shot down over Frankfurt, Germany as he attacked an aircraft factory. He parachuted from 27,000 feet and was held captive until members of the Resistance helped him escape.

The battle to oust ISIS from the Iraqi city of Mosul is shaping-up to be long and bloody and brutal, but in the end somebody will declare victory.
And when that happens, experts say, it will likely be a mirage.
There will be no way of knowing for sure whether ISIS has been completely vanquished because it's a guerrilla group that's not going to wave the white flag, they say. And dislodging the jihadis could lead to more problems — like a holy war for control of this multi-ethnic, multi-religious city of 1.5 million.
Until recently, former governors Michael Dukakis and Bill Weld were the most high-profile champions for a seemingly quixotic quest to get the North South Rail Link built.
They’re well respected in Boston, but neither has much power in Washington these days.
That’s changed now that Representative Seth Moulton, the up-and-coming congressman from the North Shore, has called construction of the multibillion-dollar tunnel to connect North and South stations a top priority.
