Honoring Our Veterans: Mayor Dalina Show with Special Guest NJ VFW Commander Yvonne Zirrith

Please take a few minutes to watch the latest episode of The Mayor Dalina Show, featuring my interview with a very special Monroe resident and veteran, State Commander Yvonne Zirrith of the New Jersey Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW). In this discussion, Commander Zirrith shares her personal story of service in the United States Navy and offers insight into the importance of recognizing our veterans and supporting their ongoing contributions to our state and community.

For generations, Monroe Township residents have answered the solemn call to serve — taking the sacred oath to defend and preserve our nation’s ideals of liberty and democracy. We will once again honor these men and women, who represent the very best of our community, on Veterans Day for their tremendous sacrifice, courage, and dedication.


Our veterans returned home from battlefields across the globe and became integral members of our community. Though no longer in uniform, they continue to exemplify the same sense of duty and selflessness that defined their military service.


On Tuesday, November 11, at 9 am, I invite all residents to join me and the Township Council at Veterans Park on Avenue K for our annual Veterans Day Observance Ceremony. Together, we will honor the brave men and women who have served in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard — and those who continue to safeguard our freedoms today.


As we pay tribute to our local heroes, let us also remember that our gratitude extends beyond this day. We honor them each time we display our nation’s flag, participate in civic life, and strengthen our community through service and compassion.


As a grateful township, let us join together on Veterans Day to say with one voice: “Thank you to all veterans for your service.” 


God Bless Monroe Township and God Bless America.
