Monmouth County launches month-long
Honor our Veterans campaign
WALL TOWNSHIP, NJ - Monmouth County Freeholder John P. Curley, liaison to the County office on Aging, Disabilities & Veterans Services, today announced a campaign to salute Monmouth County veterans and their families throughout the month of November. The Honor our Veterans campaign will highlight stories, photos and anecdotes surrounding the countless contributions and sacrifices made by the more than 33,000 veterans who reside in Monmouth County.
The campaign will be promoted through the Monmouth County Facebook page and Twitter, and will also feature a landing page on the county’s website. Instructions for how to send in stories will appear on all three digital communication sites.
The announcement of the month-long campaign was made at Camp Evans in Wall Township. Freeholder Curley was joined by Retired Army Colonel Michael Ruane, Chairman of InfoAge Science History Museum, Monmouth County Veterans and members of Veterans Service Organizations throughout Monmouth County.
“I cannot think of a better and more fitting way to salute our veterans then to recognize them throughout the entire month of November,” said Curley. “While I and other members of the Freeholder Board will take part in as many Veterans Day recognition events as possible, I wanted to extend our gratitude to our veterans and their families for a full month,” he added.
Stories and photos can be submitted by email to veterans@visitmonmouth.com. To read about Monmouth County Veterans during November, follow Monmouth County on Facebook and Twitter at MonmouthGovNJ.
