Update: Here’s a video of the dedication from Natick Pegasus:
Natick plans to dedicate the corner of East Central Street and Penacook Lane as the Kaufman Family Square on Nov. 6 in honor of Bruce George and Robert John Kaufman, who each served in the armed forces.
A proclamation (embedded below) is slated to be made at this week’s Select Board meeting on Nov. 3.
Robert John joined the Marine Corps in 1969, reaching the rank of Corporal. He was deployed to Vietnam and was awarded the Vietnam Campaign Medal, the Combat Action Ribbon, the Vietnam Service Medal, the Good Conduct Medal, the Rifle Marksman Badge, and the National Defense Service Ribbon.
Bruce George joined the Marine Corps in 1965, reaching the rank of Lance Corporal. He was deployed to Vietnam and was awarded the Purple Heart Medal, the Combat Action Ribbon, the Vietnam Campaign Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal and the Rifle Marksman Badge.

Thanks so much for recognizing the veterans of Natick. This is quite an honor. My brother Bruce would have been so honored. We miss him everyday. My brother Bobby will be very surprised and humbled.
Lisa, so good to hear from you on this. Congratulations to your family on this honor. We’ll update our post with a photo and video if Natick Pegasus records it. Paul Carew does a great job staying on top of this. Bob B.
So glad to see this. Two men couldn’t deserve it more. It is so nice to see Natick honoring their service and sacrifice. I am so proud of my cousins and I am happy to see Natick is too!!!
