Berkeley
Township:
Mayor Jason J. Varano and former
Veterans Of Foreign Wars State Commander Don Marshall are pleased to
announce a Korean War Veterans Recognition Ceremony on Tuesday, July
8th, at Veterans Park.
This ceremony will take place along with
the scheduled concert by the 63rd Army Band beginning at 6:00 pm.
This year marks the 50th Anniversary of
the end of the Korean War. “The actual anniversary is not until July
25th to the 27th,” said Varano, “but we feel the appearance of the
63rd Army Band is consistent with the patriotic tone of the
celebration.
From 1950 to 1953, one-and-a-half
million Americans served the cause of liberty and democracy under the
United Nations flag, in Korea. Of these, 131 received the
Congressional Medal of Honor, our Nations highest honor for combat
bravery.
Varano
added: “Korean War Veterans are asked to bring their DD214 discharge
papers to the Township Clerk’s Office or the Mayor’s Office. They will
be invited to complete a “Korean War Veterans Recognition Form” so
they can be acknowledged by a grateful community at the ceremony.”

“We ask all Berkeley Township residents
to please join us in honoring all veterans, particularly our
Korean War Veterans.” Varano said.
For more information, please call
Berkeley Town Hall at 732-244-7400.
This is a chance to show our
gratitude for the sacrifices of our men and women in uniform to
defend freedom and democracy around the world so we can enjoy peace,
prosperity and the blessings of liberty in our own land.
This is also an opportunity to show
support for the men and women who currently serve in our armed forces
by honoring the men and women who have served so courageously in times
past.
May God bless all of our friends and
neighbors who serve our country and our community.
