The Township Committee was honored to join the veterans of the Memorial and Veterans Day Association of Morristown and Morris Township on Monday to honor the lives of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom and way of life. We were fortunate to be joined by our representative in Congress and Navy Veteran, Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill.
At this year’s service at the Green, I was humbled to provide the keynote remarks, where I focused on how, as a community, we must do better to honor lives and legacies of the fallen. We must each personalize their heroic journeys so that we may cherish their lives as we do the lives of our loved ones. And we must work together so that their stories of heroism are given the opportunity to be more closely tied to our hearts.
Thank you to the Memorial and Veterans Day Association, including longtime Township residents Jim Cavanuagh and Former Fire Chief Tony Romano, for organizing Monday’s services.
