couple of words: leadership and humility.
The act of humility is the act of being selfless. For our veterans, that is exactly what
they have done. They have done a lack of
self, joining the military and putting their
lives on the line. They have defended what
we have today with this great country and
town we live in. It is amazing to be a part of
our veterans today. The United States Marine Corps changed my life. If I hadn’t
joined the Marines, I will tell you what, I
wouldn’t be up here standing before you
today,” Foy said.
The Veterans Day ceremony at the Hammonton Middle School auditorium was
well-attended, as members of the community, which included military veterans, local
organization members and dignitaries
joined together to pay tribute to veterans on
their day of commemoration.

Middle School on November 6.
During that day, students asked the
local military veterans questions,
wrote thank-you notes to them and
the veterans shared stories with the
students, DiDonato said.
DiDonato stated that the students
took home a gift that couldn’t be
learned in textbooks, and he continued his presentation thanking all the
military veterans for their service to
the country.
“Today, we cannot forget the
thousands of veterans that have put
their lives on the line for our freedom. On this Veterans Day, on behalf of council and the citizens of
our town, I would like to thank all
the men and women who have
served and continue to serve our
great country and those that made
the ultimate sacrifice and still those
missing today. God bless our country, our soldiers and God bless those
families and God bless the Unites
States of America,” DiDonato said.
Bertino delivered a brief speech
about the meaning of Veterans Day
and honoring those that previously
served this country.
“Let us never forget that we cannot rightly celebrate the joy of our
freedom, without remembering the
great price that was paid for that
freedom…To our veterans, we have
a simple, yet heartfelt message:
thank you. Thank you for your unwavering service during this time of
war, here in this nation and throughout the world ???[ ?]\?[?? ?Y?\?\??? Z\? ?\??X?H[? H\?B?[? ?X? ^H ?\??Y ^H ZY B? ?X?H [YH[? [YHY?Z[?[?Y?[?Y[Y\?X?H \?[?? H?\?[?????? [Y\?[? \???YY Z\?? ]Y\? \?[\?? K ?]] H ?X???][???[??\?K8?'H?\?[?? ?ZY ??????? L ??[?[Y\?X?[??Y?[??? N
