Remembering Our Veterans

Every May we all make a special effort to remember our
 Servicemen and Women.
        On May 26th we again will have a parade and a memorial program at the Veterans’ Park (the Big Flag) starting at 10AM.

        This year the Emporium Garden Club through the generous donations from our community will be a part of the celebration.
        We would like to invite you to be a part of the dedication ceremony of the Blue Star Memorial Marker.

        The Blue Star Memorial Program honors service men and women.  This program began with the planting of 8,000 Dogwood trees by the New Jersey Council of Garden Clubs in 1944 as a living memorial to the veterans of World War II.

        In 1945, the National Council of State Garden Clubs adopted the program and began a Blue Star Highway system, which covers thousands of miles across the Continental United States, Alaska and Hawaii.

        We wish to thank all who have donated time and money to make this memorial possible and hope to see you on Memorial Day.
