Nov. 9, 2007 - A salute to our heroes

Honoring our heroes

This Sunday, November 11th, we honor those who gave service to our country in the armed forces. It's hard for me to believe that this year marks the 25^th anniversary of the veteran's "Wall" in Washington D.C. honoring those who've paid the ultimate price of freedom during the Vietnam war.

This weekend as you walk or drive along DeMott Lane between New Brunswick and Amwell roads and our flags wave in the blowing winds, give a moment's thought to the sacrafices being made by our troops.

Please join me in thanking our veterans, past and present, and especially those Franklin Township neighbors who made the unselfish commitment of military service that benefits each and every one of us every day.

"How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!" ~ Maya Angelou

May our troops return home safe, sound and swiftly. Read about the history of Veterans Day.
