The following is a Public Service Announcement

Issued by the

 Egg Harbor Township Veterans’ Advisory Board

2009 Memorial Day Parade Committee

 

There are remembrance days such as this for our fallen veterans; we as a nation set aside to praise and ponder them on this day, called Memorial Day. “A nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces but also by the men it honors, the men it remembers.”--John F. Kennedy.

 

Let us gather together to remember and honor those of us that have passed before in the fields of battle from our all too many conflicts from the greatest generation to the latest generation.

 

On Monday, May 25, 2008 we will begin promptly at 10:00 AM starting the Memorial Day parade on North Mt. Airy down Zion Road to Ocean Heights Avenue then to Veteran’s Memorial Park.

 

There we plan the following; Flag raising ceremony and the song “God Bless America” and “Proud to be an American”, the laying of a wreath and Taps and a brief commentary by a distinguished speaker the 177^th own Lt. Col Michael Love.

 

     If you and or your organization would like to participate, please do not hesitate to contact Memorial Day Parade Committee member Bryan Roscoe at 609/788-8930 or cell phone 609/464-0124.
