Honoring Military Heroes on Veterans’ Day
HONORING OUR MILITARY HEROES ON VETERANS’ DAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2024 (MORRISTOWN & MORRIS TOWNSHIP)
The Memorial and Veterans Day Association of Morristown and Morris Township will be Honoring Military Heroes on Veterans’ Day. The Morris Township portion is at the Township’s Veteran’s Monument/Patric Hyland Memorial, located at 50 Woodland Avenue in front of the Township Municipal Building.
Included in the ceremony is the reading of the names of veterans commemorated on the Hometown Heroes Banners.
In 2023, three local organizations worked together to launch the annual display of the banners in May and November in recognition of the service of these heroes to America: American Legion, Post 59, Morristown; the Daughters of the American Revolution, Morristown Chapter; and Morris Township. This year, the banners will hang in greater numbers around the Township Municipal Building, Ginty Field Dwyer Lane, Ginty Pool, Fanok Road, and Speedwell Avenue. Applications are available on the Township website at: Hometown Heroes | Morris Township, NJ – Official Website.
Members of the American Legion Post 59 and the Daughters of the American Revolution, Morristown Chapter will proceed to the Green in Morristown for the Association’s town portion of the ceremony beginning at 11 AM.
This year, Morristown launched the Mo-Town Heroes Banner Program with the additional support of the Morristown Rotary Club and the Morristown Partnership.
The Mo-Town Heroes banners will hang along South Street near the Green. The names of the veterans will be read during the Town’s ceremony by representatives of the five organizations.
