In December 2001 in a ceremony in Boston Harbor four Andover World War II Veterans were decorated with a "special diploma" by the French government for their valor in Normandy on D Day. The award was given by the French Consul General and the commanding officer of the "Jeanne D'Arc", a French ship that fought along side the American ships. Recipients:
*Louis Heliotis, High Street
*Domenic Mariano, North Main Street
*Mario Medaglio, Newman Hill Road
*Oscar Rosenberg, Railroad Avenue


Ted Cole was honored in May 2004 by the Town of Andover.  Ted was serving as a gunner on the USS Columbia when it was hit by a Japanese Kamakaze bomber. When Ted received medical attention he was holding a piece of the Kamakaze pilot's jacket in his hand, which had a piece of a Japanese flag in the pocket.
The Andover-By-Pass (Route 125) was constructed to reduce traffic on the Phillips campus. Academy trustees under the leadership of Alum Thomas Cochran bought the land and the state constructed the road, which opened in 1931.
