On September 20, I was honored to attend VFW Post 1963 Auxiliary’s annual POW-MIA Recognition Day Ceremony, during which our nation’s prisoners of war and service members who are still missing in action were remembered. My thanks go to the Auxiliary members for hosting that event – and for everything they do for our community throughout the year.
Also on September 20, Sea Isle City’s Recreation Office hosted a Philadelphia Phillies Watch Party at Excursion Park, where approximately 200 people watched the Phils soundly defeat the New York Mets on the Band Shell’s giant screen.
