“We are pleased to have NBCUniversal Local Boston working with us to promote the 250th Battle of Gloucester commemorative events,” said Michael Graves, Battle of Gloucester Committee member and Officer Commanding of His Majesty’s Tenth Regiment of Foot in America. “As one of the American Revolution’s lesser-known battles, there are so many stories of battles, individuals, and the City of Gloucester that deserve to be brought to life. We are pleased to be working with NBCUniversal Local Boston to paint a full picture of our history, and the individuals who fearlessly took to the Gloucester coast for our freedom.”
“All of us at the Boston stations of NBC and Telemundo are honored and excited to be the media partner for the 250th Battle of Gloucester Commemorative weekend,” said Chris Wayland, NBCUniversal Local Boston President and General Manager. “We look forward to amplifying the many heroic stories, events, and inspiring people that marked this important moment in our nation’s history.”
