Today, federal, state and local elected officials representing Gloucester will come together to celebrate the Annisquam River dredging project, which is finally moving forward.
For nearly a decade, Iraqi citizens worked side by side with US military forces, diplomats, contractors. They were the translators, the cooks and drivers, the aides who helped guide and explain their culture. They were a critical part of the US effort — and now they have been virtually abandoned.
IPSWICH — Congressman Seth Moulton remembers not knowing anything about composting, going to school one day in Marblehead, where he grew up, learning about composting and coming home and telling his parents, “We’re going to compost.”
And they did.
The story was part of an hour-long give and take between the Sixth District Congressman and a mix of middle school and high school students at the Dolan Performing Arts Center, Monday, Nov. 4, at the high-middle school.
Former U.S. Representative Chris Gibson and U.S. Representative Seth Moulton sat on different sides of the aisle during their time together serving in Congress.
But something they consider more fundamental than party politics unites them: their military service in overseas combat deployments.

“We killed one important ISIS figurehead, but it’s a very decentralized organization with plenty more fighters on the ground in Syria, in Iraq and in the pipeline,” U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton said. “Make no mistake, it’s a good thing he’s killed, but our fight is in a far worse position against ISIS.”
LYNN — General Electric Co. received a $143 million contract from the US Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) for the production of engines that will power the U.S. Marine Corps’ heavy-lift helicopters.
GE Aviation delivered its first production T408 engine for the helicopters to NAVAIR last month. GE held a ceremony Friday in the city to mark the occasion.
Senators on the Armed Services Committee introduced bipartisan legislation Wednesday that would expand access to eating disorder treatment for service members, their families and retirees.
The proposed bill, the Supporting Eating Disorders Recovery Through Vital Expansion, or SERVE, Act, is similar to one introduced in May by combat veterans and House members Brian Mast, R-Florida, and Seth Moulton, D-Massachusetts, that would require military leaders be trained to recognize the signs of eating disorders in service members and expand coverage for care.
