MEMORIAL DAY 2009 OBSERVANCEA ceremony was held on Monday, May 25th, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. at the Township Municipal Building to acknowledge those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.
Beryle B. Herman, a local WW2 vet of Montague, and Desmond Finegan sit observing a moment of silence in front of the memorial, after placing the wreath.
Our local militia had protected this early frontier during our French & Indian War and throughout the Revolutionary War. Our men and women then proudly served their country in the War of 1812, the Civil War, World War 1, World War 2, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and more recent involvements in Desert Storm, the Gulf and Iraq. Many are interred at the Montague Cemetery/ Minisink Churchyard - where American flags now mark their graves in honor.
