| War Memorial |
As you walk through the town common, you will notice the various memorials. Wilmington honors veterans every day with this display. The Veteran's Day ceremony occurs every year right here in front of this memorial. On Memorial Day, the parade also honors veterans. There is a ceremony on Memorial Day at the cemetery to honor the lives lost in wars. Wilmington takes pride in honoring its veterans and remembering what these people do for our town and our country. Wilmington lives by the idea that Memorial Day and Veteran's Day aren't the only times to remember and honor veterans; veterans should be honored every single day.
Across the street, you see the brand new high school.
You are not impressed with the brick exterior, but at least it isn't falling apart like the old high school. In this school, technology is the big hype. Students are constantly typing on Chromebooks and playing review games on their phones. Teachers are incorporating more and more technology, and starting next year, students will have to own their own Chromebook. Times have changed, and students and teachers are all adapting to the changes. The new Wilmington High School will be able to keep up with the constantly changing world.

| Town Gazebo |
You turn around on the common, and you see the gazebo. Many town concerts have been held there, and plenty of fourth of July celebrations take place right where you're standing. People come together around the gazebo to listen to music and enjoy each other's company. Wilmington is not just a place; it is a community where people celebrate together and offer each other a helping hand.
Although it may not be the most extravagant town you've ever seen, you feel a sense of belonging in Wilmington, and you appreciate the many different aspects of this community that make it great.
