- 3rd Wednesday, 7:00 PM
In 1997 a handful of veterans chartered Detachment 136 — NORWOOD, MA. From that first meeting the detachment grew into a hall that still marks the year with a memorial service, a community project, and a table full of people who know one another’s stories.
Over the years the detachment has taken on the jobs a town actually asks for: rides to a clinic, a meal after a funeral, help with a ramp, a speaker for a school program. The members keep a notebook of what got done and what is still open, and they read it aloud before the meeting adjourns.
The meeting line says 3rd Wednesday, 7:00 PM, which is the rhythm the directory lists. Come for the business, stay for the people. The portraits and the posts here are sample material, standing in until the detachment writes its own — NORWOOD, MA.

Notes from the first meeting
Norfolk County #136. The year opens the usual way: a short meeting, a full pot of coffee, and a list of local families the detachment already knows. The members voted to keep the Memorial Day wreath on the calendar and to pass the word person to person — NORWOOD, MA. - Apr 9, 2026
Showing up for the Memorial Day wreath — NORWOOD
By spring the hall had the Memorial Day wreath underway. Nothing about it was complicated. The Detachment 136 set a date, split the jobs, and showed up. A few neighbors who are not members came for the afternoon and stayed to ask about the next meeting — NORWOOD. - Aug 21, 2026
What the notebook says so far
Late summer the detachment looked back at the notebook. The honor detail had been out more than once, the community table had fed a crowded room, and the officers reminded everyone that the next business meeting is 3rd Wednesday, 7:00 PM. This note is a sample of how the detachment might tell that year — NORWOOD, MA.
